Chuck Schumer says US Senate can make progress on TikTok bill

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has outlined a busy agenda for lawmakers returning from recess, highlighting the opportunity for progress on TikTok legislation. The US House of Representatives previously voted to give TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, six months to divest the platform's US assets or face a ban. Schumer's statement did not provide a specific stance on TikTok but emphasized potential bipartisan bills on various topics such as children's online safety, rail safety, low-income internet subsidies, cannabis banking, and countering China. Despite no immediate action planned for TikTok, discussions on next steps continue among senators. The fate of TikTok has gained significant attention in Washington due to concerns about national security and user data privacy.
