The U.S. Senate is on the brink of forcing TikTok's China-based parent company to sell the social media platform, threatening a ban. As the saga unfolds, with President Biden signing a law to potentially ban TikTok unless it's sold within a year, the future of the popular app hangs in the balance. Despite TikTok's vows to fight the ban, the looming uncertainty leaves users wondering about the fate of their favorite platform.

With Congress passing measures to set up a path for a TikTok ban, the app may face termination post-2024 election. The legislation has sparked debates on the repercussions and potential impact on the tech industry. Amidst the chaos, Trump's failed attempts to ban TikTok are revisited, highlighting the ongoing battle between national security concerns and global tech giants.

On the brighter side, experts speculate on possible outcomes, shedding light on the various scenarios that could unfold. Will TikTok survive the ban storm, or will it succumb to the pressure of divestment? Only time will tell as the drama surrounding the app continues to unfold.

In a surprising turn of events, President Biden's actions to potentially ban TikTok could inadvertently benefit Big Tech companies like Meta and Google. The constant flux and power struggles in the tech world take center stage as the battle for user data and market dominance intensifies.
