Legislation Looming: Congress Proposes TikTok Ban Post-2024 Election
US National Security Bill Includes Provision to Potentially Ban TikTok
In a $95 billion national security package set to reach President Joe Biden’s desk, there is a provision that could lead to the banning of TikTok, but not until after the 2024 election.
With 170 million American users, TikTok will continue to be a significant platform during the campaign, allowing candidates to engage with a predominantly younger audience. Recent changes to the bill have extended the timeline, preventing an immediate ban that could have sparked voter backlash.
The new legislation gives ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company based in Beijing, nine months to sell the app or face a nationwide prohibition in the US. The president has the authority to grant a 90-day extension, potentially delaying the ban until April 2025.
Political maneuvering by Senate Democrats led to the extension of the timeline, ensuring that the ban would not coincide with the election, according to sources familiar with the issue.
Implications of the TikTok Ban
Despite threats of legal action from TikTok, lawmakers believe that ByteDance will opt to sell the app rather than risk a US ban. Senator Tim

The plan for the Rafah operation was presented to American officials and other agencies in the region. According to the plan, the operation will proceed in phases, based on a regional division of Gaza city into defined areas.

World would be saved if war money was spent on climate change: PM
– 2024-04-24 17:10:26
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that the world would have been saved if the money had been spent on climate change instead of arms and money on war.
He said this at the opening ceremony of NAP Expo-2024 and Bangladesh Climate Development Partnership (BCDP) at the China Friendship Conference Center in the capital on Monday (April 22).
The head of government said that instead of spending money on weapons and war, the world would have been saved if that money had been spent on climate change.
Immediately after independence, the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman said that in 1972, he took a global initiative to combat the adverse effects of climate change.
He said that Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had taken an effective and far-reaching action plan in this regard in 1972 long before that. He started coastal afforestation in 1972 to protect against sea tides and natural calamities. In the same year formulated the ‘Cyclone Preparedness Programme’ which was inaugurated in 1973. He built cyclone shelters in coastal areas to protect lives and property. These shelters are known as ‘Mujib Killa’ to the locals.
‘Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib raised the issue of natural disasters in international forums. In his address to the United Nations on September 25, 1974, he said that Bangladesh is one of the countries that are repeatedly affected by disasters. Therefore, the special interest of Bangladesh lies in the formation of a regular institutional system suitable for the international community to come forward to deal with the situation arising from natural disasters.
Sheikh Hasina said that she established the National Herbarium on July 1, 1975 for the preservation and research of plant species of the country. He took many steps to achieve the ability to cope with the effects of climate change, including conservation of forests and environment, disaster management, water resources management and protection of natural resources.
Following the footsteps of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib, we are implementing various programs with our own resources to combat the adverse effects of climate change. In 2009, we established the Bangladesh Climate Change Trust Fund with our own funding to implement adaptation activities. Under this, 9 hundred and 69 projects have been accepted at a cost of about 500 million dollars.
