If not, TikTok risks losing its user base of 150 million people in the United States.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The details.<\/strong> More than a dozen lawmakers have teamed up to propose the new legislation, which is expected to see an initial vote on March 7. If the bill is passed, ByteDance would have 165 days to divest TikTok. If it doesn\u2019t comply with these orders, it would become illegal for app stores run by Apple and Google to offer TikTok. Additionally, it would be illegal to provide web hosting services to apps controlled by ByteDance.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/1038259\/SEL_Post-text --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1693000027709-0\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"post-break\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Security concerns. <\/strong>The new legislation is being proposed to address concerns related to national security surrounding TikTok\u2019s ownership.
