The U.S. House of Representatives has overwhelmingly voted in favor of a bill that would ban video app TikTok in the United States unless the app is divested by its owner, Chinese company ByteDance. Lawmakers are concerned about the relationship between TikTok owner ByteDance and the Communist Chinese government, as the app collects personal data from American users. The app had 102 million users in the states last year and that total is expected to rise to nearly 108 million this year.
