Senator Josh Hawley has announced his plan to introduce legislation banning TikTok nationwide, saying the popular social media app 'threatens our children's privacy.' The announcement comes after Congress banned the app on government devices last month.
"What my bill does is it specifically goes after TikTok — it bans it. It doesn’t ban any other app, but it also requires a comprehensive report to Congress on the national security threat" that the app poses and its relationship to the Chinese Communist Party, Hawley told reporters on Capitol Hill."But listen, I welcome all efforts to ban TikTok, of whatever form it takes."
The lawmakers said at the time that their bill aimed to protect Americans from foreign adversaries who might use certain social media to surveil Americans, learn sensitive data about them, and spread influence campaigns or propaganda.
