House Republicans propose legislation potentially forcing ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the US.

TikTok intends to pursue all legal options before considering a sale as a last resort under new US law.

Chinese government approval is necessary for a divestiture, and it has signaled resistance to a forced sale.

The proposed bill will go to a vote in the US House of Representatives, reaching an unprecedented stage in Congress.

As US election tensions rise, TikTok's future in the country is uncertain, prompting advice for users to back up their content.
