The House of Representatives has fast-tracked a bill to ban TikTok, sparking campaigns and debates. This move has led to clashes between lawmakers and TikTok users over the app's future. The bill, if passed, would force ByteDance to sell TikTok, prompting opposition from China and TikTok's users. The company is rallying its users to call their Congresspeople and express their opposition to the legislation. The bill's rapid progress has caught many TikTok creators off guard, prompting them to rally their followers. Critics have expressed concerns about the ban’s impact on data privacy and pointed out lawmakers’ condescending attitudes toward TikTokers. The bill's fast-tracking has sparked debates about the government's control over technology and how it may impact the upcoming election cycle.
