House lawmakers on Wednesday voted to pass a bill that intends to leave TikTok’s China-based owner ByteDance with two choices: divest the popular app or face a ban in the U.S.

President Biden has said he’s ready to sign the restriction into law, but the bill faces obstacles in the Senate fueled by the app’s fans who will vote in November.
