Senator McConnell supports bill mandating TikTok divestment
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has urged for legislation that would compel China’s ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, to sell the popular short video app that is currently being used by 170 million Americans. McConnell believes that requiring the divestment of TikTok from Beijing-influenced entities would be a necessary step to protect national security and privacy concerns.
