Oh TikTok, you're not just a scroll-through-until-3-am addiction but also a hot potato in the geopolitical fryer. The U.S. House is like that one friend who suddenly decides they're on a health kick and tries to ban anything remotely fun, or in this case, ByteDance-owned. With bipartisan jazz hands waving farewell, it seems TikTok's data dance has twirled itself into a national security foxtrot. Will TikTok end up being the app that got away? Stay tuned for the next episode of 'Congress Grapples With Tech Drama.'
