The Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, explained<\/h2>
U.S. lawmakers have repeatedly targeted TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, over concerns related to national security stemming from the fact that the China-based business entity is required by local law to share its user data information with the Chinese government. After multiple failed attempts, the Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act passed last March with a bipartisan majority in the House, and it was signed into law seven weeks later. TikTok argued its case in front of the Supreme Court, but the justices ultimately upheld the standing decision.<\/p>
