U.S. Senate Plans to Amend TikTok Divestiture Bill
(AsianFin)—The U.S. Senate intends to revise the recently approved House proposal aimed at compelling a sale or prohibition of TikTok in the United States, with various suggestions already circulating among legislators on Capitol Hill. But some lawmakers backing a crackdown on the Chinese-controlled social-media app worry that overly broad changes could significantly delay the effort or derail it permanently.
When lawmakers reconvene after the Easter recess, expectations are high that Senator Maria Cantwell, the influential chairwoman of the Senate Commerce Committee, will spearhead the effort for alterations, some of which may be contentious.
