US congress bill requiring ByteDance to divest from TikTok or face a ban[edit]

This seems to be gathering momentum, but at the moment there's no mention of it here or at Restrictions on TikTok in the United States. Eldomtom2 (talk) 22:39, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The bill has passed the House of Representatives. Should this information be added onto the page? 174.130.41.36 (talk) 21:25, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion yes, and I see that someone added it. Jameson Nightowl (talk) 03:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Easily misunderstood description about ByteDance[edit]

It reads like 1% of ByteDance is mainly owned by state entities. In reality, that golden share is not in ByteDance but in ByteDance's another subsidiary in China and has nothing to do with TikTok. I cannot copyedit this article, but this should be made more clear. Steven1Yee (talk) 02:51, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 24 April 2024[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I suggest we change the paragraph starting with "On 13 March 2024" on TikTok#Federal-level to read:

On 13 March 2024, the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 7521, which would ban TikTok completely unless it is divested from ByteDance.^[1]. In April, the House of Representatives included a modified version of the bill in a foreign aid package which was passed by United States Senate on 23 April 2024.^[2]^[3] Allymonies (talk) 05:04, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
