An outspoken critic of what he considers censorship from the federal government and big tech companies, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. condemned the House of Representatives for passing a bill that could ban TikTok from the United States and give the president broad authority to target foreign firms in the country.
If signed into law, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act will legally require TikTok to divest from ByteDance, its China-based parent company, or face a ban on American app stores and hosting services.
