“Today, every single Justice of the United States Supreme Court reached the same conclusion: forcing ByteDance to divest is constitutional,” Congressman Krishnamoorthi stated. “The Supreme Court's unanimous judgment ensures these harms to U.S. national security will finally be resolved.”
Krishnamoorthi emphasized the bipartisan foundation of the legislation, noting its unanimous 50-0 approval in Committee and widespread support in Congress. He also pointed to the sustained efforts of two administrations in addressing the risks posed by ByteDance's control over TikTok.
