Die Kommission ist befugt, die in Artikel 264 genannten delegierten Rechtsakte zu folgenden Zwecken zu erlassen: The Senate approved a $202 billion foreign aid package on Tuesday, which includes a provision that may result in a ban of TikTok in the United States. Senators voted 79 to 18 in favor of the legislation, which requires TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform within a year or face being blocked. It specifically requires ByteDance to divest its ownership in the company within nine months, with the option for the U.S. president to extend that deadline by an additional three months.
