The law has been introduced because of concerns TikTok might share user data with the Chinese government at the end of April.

President Biden has signed into law a bill which gives the Chinese owner nine months to divest the app or it will be blocked in the US.

TikTok says it will challenge in court an "unconstitutional" law. TikTok claims It is not a Chinese firm, pointing to the global investment firms that own 60% of it.

Senator Marco Rubio, the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee told that it’s too dangerous to allow China to control the most popular app. Rubio says, "A new law is going to require its Chinese owner to sell the app. This is a good move for America.”

However , according to BBC, it could take several years before the app is blocked. Because this case would go all the way to the Supreme Court.

I guess, It is unfortunate that legal action would delay the process. This legislation is definitely necessary. The Japanese government should also enact such a law.
