On Friday, the chair of the House Select Committee on China announced his intention to conduct comprehensive oversight of a deal involving Chinese-based ByteDance. This deal, approved under a 2024 law, involves the sale of TikTok's U.S. assets.
The new law establishes strict guidelines, disallowing any collaborative efforts between ByteDance and the successor company of TikTok, particularly concerning the recommendation algorithm. It also bans any operational connections between the new TikTok entity and ByteDance.
Representative John Moolenaar, a Republican, stated he would hold a hearing with the leadership of the new TikTok entity next year to ensure compliance with these regulations.
