The congress website has a tracker eg this link tracks "STOP CCP ACT" introduced on September: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/6686/text?r=48&s=1

Senate Intelligence Chairman Mark Warner(who is a democrat) said Congress and states may take further steps soon to limit TikTok because of security concerns if the Biden administration doesn’t quickly come forward with a solution to protect American users of the Chinese-owned social media network (from min 2:20): https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2022-12-15/senator-warner-on-crypto-regulation-tiktok-concerns
Sen. Dick Durbin, Democrat senate majority whip, encourages Americans to remove TikTok from their devices(min 1:01-2:03): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIHgqG5Ja9Y
Bank of America analyst said:
"A TikTok ban is possible but not most likely scenario. A negotiated sale to a US tech or media company could be more likely if a ban was on the horizon, and a sale could accelerate advertiser interest. In a ban scenario, we would view Snap as the biggest sentiment beneficiary, followed by Meta."
Cowen analyst said:
“We continue to believe TikTok will survive in the US. But we think it’s now a very close call, and we maintain our 40% chance of a ban in 2023.”

[[user:Aron]]: Cool thanks. Any insights on the bill itself? Is there a way in general to have a guessing/tracking on any particular bill how it is doing? (Like websites specialized on tracking how it is doing, credible people giving their opinion on it, public statements on support etc.)
'''Discussion 2:'''
I think it is relevant and can easily be passed given that:
1. It's a bipartisan bill.
2. It's not the first bill targeting TikTok to be passed in US senate. In 2020 the "no TikTok on Government Devices Act" was passed.

3 a). During recent weeks, Several states, most Republican-led eg Alabama, Utah,  Texas, Maryland and South Dakota have banned TikTok on state devices. This will likely embolden the senators to pass the bill.
3b). Republicans will take control of the House in January, and the bill could be a sign of tough scrutiny they plan to apply to Chinese companies.

4.  FBI Director Christopher Wray is concerned about the security risks that TikTok poses.

[[user:Aron]] Nice. Please investigate a bit more. Is this of any relevance or will it likely fail or don't have any material impact?

“This is in some ways is the most challenging work … but I also think it’s the most valuable potential part of the work over time,” he said. Virtual reality accounted for more than 40 per cent of Reality Labs’ spending, while futuristic social platforms like the virtual environment it calls Horizon received only about 10 per cent."
