American Legislation Proposes TikTok Sale to Non-Chinese Shareholders Amid Concerns About Chinese Government Control

In the United States, legislation is being considered that would require ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, to sell its shares to non-Chinese shareholders or face a ban of the app in the country. The Chamber is also set to vote on an aid package for Israel and Ukraine, which includes a rule on TikTok with a modification of giving the company up to a year to find suitable buyers. This move is aimed at removing control of the platform from the Chinese government, as all Chinese companies are subject to Beijing’s control and direction.

Senator Giulio Terzi di Sant’Agata has voiced concerns about TikTok being a dangerous platform that depends on the Chinese regime and does not guarantee reliability. He emphasized the need for Europe to coordinate action to protect democratic processes, especially in light of China’s use of influencers to push anti-Western propaganda on the platform. The Senator highlighted the importance of upholding mental well-being, freedom, and the rule of law in the face of foreign information manipulation.
