TikTok is facing a ban in the United States after Congress voted overwhelmingly to force the app's Chinese parent company to divest.

The House passed the bill Wednesday morning in a bipartisan vote 352 - 65, despite calls from Donald Trump and Elon Musk to go against the bill and fury from teenagers not to stop them getting on the wildly popular video platform.

Now, senators will decide whether the national security threat posed by TikTok is worth the headache from constituents who love the app, and have been calling lawmakers nonstop asking them to vote against the measure. The social media company boasts over 150 million American users.
