Jon Husted says TikTok is still banned in his house

Newly sworn-in Sen. Jon Husted (R-OK) said he will continue to ban TikTok from his own children at home.

Husted joined the Senate this week in the seat previously held by Vice President JD Vance after the chamber voted to enact the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. The law was meant to pressure China-based ByteDance to sell TikTok for the social media platform to be hosted by app stores in the United States. However, as their divestiture deadline of Jan. 19 came and went, President Donald Trump reinstated the app’s operations.
