TikTok goes on offense against lawmakers who voted for a 'ban' while keeping accounts

TikTok is singling out lawmakers who voted for a bill that puts into motion a forced sale or a ban of the popular application in the United States while also having accounts of their own.

The new bill, passed this week as part of a foreign aid package, would give the Biden administration another chance to ban TikTok in the United States if its owner, the Chinese tech firm ByteDance, fails to divest the popular short video app over the next nine months to a year. The package passed with the help of 46 Democrats, 15 Republicans, and two independents.
