Bipartisan bill introduced to ban TikTok

A group of lawmakers from both political parties has introduced a bill that would ban the China-affiliated app TikTok from operating in the United States.

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined with Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) to introduce new legislation on Tuesday that would block and prohibit all transactions from TikTok and its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, within the U.S. The filing comes amid negotiations between TikTok and the Biden administration to protect the data of American users on the app over national security concerns.
