A US law that is intended to force a change of ownership of the short video app Tiktok has cleared the first hurdle. The House of Representatives in Washington approved it on Wednesday with a large majority of 352 yes votes. Now it goes to the US Senate, where the positions are still unclear. US President Joe Biden has already made it clear that he would sign the law. Skeptics point out that the law is likely to keep the courts busy for years because it could be vulnerable to the freedom of speech enshrined in the US Constitution.
