US House passes bill that could lead to TikTok ban

US House lawmakers have cleared a bill that could lead to a ban of social media app TikTok in the country. The move has sparked fierce backlash from China, TikTok, as well as content creators who make a living on the platform. Washington has given the social media giant's Chinese parent company ByteDance just six months to sell its controlling stake, or TikTok will disappear from app stores across the country. The vote saw overwhelming support -- with 352 members of the House voting in favour of the proposed law, while 65 voted against it.
