America’s House of Representatives passed a bill which would require ByteDance, the Chinese firm that owns TikTok, either to sell the platform or to stop operating in America, TikTok’s biggest market. The bill’s supporters worry that China could lean on TikTok to massage content to its liking. TikTok became popular with its quirky video clips, but has morphed into a big provider of factual media. A third of American adults under 30 use it to catch up on the news. The bill now goes to the Senate.
