A Bill that could lead to a ban of the popular video app TikTok in the United States is expected to pass the house of representatives as legislators act on concerns that the company’s ownership structure is a threat to national security.

The Bill would require the Chinese firm ByteDance to divest from TikTok and other applications it owns within six months of the Bill’s enactment, or those apps would be prohibited.
