Democrat Rep. Jeff Jackson apologizes to TikTok followers for voting in favor of banning TikTok if its parent company, ByteDance, refuses to divest within 165 days.
Democratic Rep. Jeff Jackson posted a video to TikTok apologizing for his vote that could help ban the Chinese-owned app from the U.S. 'I screwed this up, I did,' Jackson, who is running for North Carolina attorney general, said in the video over the weekend. 'And the reason I voted for it was because I genuinely believe the chance of a ban is practically zero for a lot of reasons – financial, political, geopolitical – I just don't think there's any real chance of a ban.
HOUSE PASSES BILL THAT COULD SEE TIKTOK BANNED IN US The bill, led by House China Select Committee Chair Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., and ranking member Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., would block TikTok in the U.S. if its parent company, Bytedance, does not divest from it within 165 days of passage. It would also require it to be bought by a country that is not a U.S. adversary. TikTok’s critics have long called it a national security threat.
