It’s not a TikTok ban, Rep. John Curtis says

Rep. John Curtis said the bipartisan bill requiring TikTok to divest from its parent company, ByteDance, is not a ban on the app. Curtis spoke to the Deseret News on the phone Friday about a bill advanced from the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee. The legislation stipulates that TikTok needs to be sold from ByteDance within a six-month time frame or else it’ll be removed from the app store. “This is a very limited scope and very targeted,” Curtis said, adding that it wasn’t typical for legislation to pass out of committee unanimously. He emphasized that politicians on both sides of the aisle have indicated their support of the bill.
