Ban of TikTok in United States
March 02 2023 - 6:30AM
Vinco Ventures, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBIG) (“Vinco Ventures,” “Vinco,” or
the “Company”), a digital media and content technologies company.
On March 1, 2023, the U.S. House of
Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee voted to put H.R. 1153 or
the Deterring America’s Technological Adversaries Act to a vote of
the full House of Representatives and the Senate. The bill would
appear to give the Executive Branch of the U.S. government the
ability to impose a full nationwide ban on TikTok under the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act, citing the need to
crack down on China-related economic activity. The bill, in its
present form, would require the U.S. President to impose penalties
on any entities which, among other things, might knowingly transfer
TikTok user data to any foreign person working in conjunction with
the government of China in areas such as hacking, surveillance or
information gathering involving the U.S.
And Vinco Venture’s Lomotif platform stands
ready to step up and fill the void created by a potential TikTok
ban. Lomotif is a mobile social media and video editing app with a
simple and user-friendly interface that makes it easy for anyone to
create professional-looking videos using their smartphone. It is
designed for short videos, making it perfect for social media
content creators who want to create engaging videos quickly. In
addition, Lomotif makes it easy to share videos on social media
platforms and is free to download and use. Most important, Lomotif
is owned by a public company in the USA.
