Lawmakers in the US House of Representatives have overwhelmingly passed a bill that could lead to a ban of the social media platform TikTok. Lawmakers have long raised concerns about the app's Chinese owner, ByteDance, and the Chinese government's ability to demand user data, claiming TikTok could pose a threat to national security.
