No TikTok on United States Devices Act
HR 503, the "No TikTok on United States Devices Act," would require the President to block all U.S. transactions with ByteDance Limited (TikTok's parent company) within 30 days of enactment, effectively banning TikTok on U.S. devices. This uses emergency economic powers to prohibit financial dealings involving ByteDance or any entity it owns that handles TikTok data. The bill includes exceptions for national security, law enforcement, and security research activities. It also mandates a 120-day report from intelligence agencies assessing Chinese government access to U.S. user data via TikTok.
