The White House announces its support for a bipartisan Senate proposal that would give the federal government the power to greatly restrict or even ban foreign-produced technology — including TikTok.
The White House on Tuesday announced that it was throwing its support behind a bipartisan Senate proposal that would give the federal government the power to greatly restrict or even ban foreign-produced technology — including TikTok.
The measure would authorize the Commerce Secretary to “review and prohibit certain transactions” between the U.S. and “foreign adversaries,” listing China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Venezuela.does not specifically mention TikTok by name, the popular social media platform — owned by Chinese company ByteDance — was cited by numerous lawmakers who introduced the measure.
“We lack, at this moment in time, a holistic, inter-agency whole-of-government approach, “Warner added. “Instead of playing whack-a-mole on Huawei one day, ZTE the next, Kasperky, TikTok — we need a more comprehensive approach to evaluating and mitigating these threats posed by these foreign technologies from these adversarial nations.”
Warner and Thune were joined by 10 other lawmakers from both parties — Republican Sens. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., Jerry Moran, R-Kan., Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Democratic Sens. Tammy Baldwin, R-Wisc., Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Martin Heinrich, D-N.M. — signaling that the legislation likely has enough support to overcome the Senate’s 60-vote legislative filibuster threshold.
