Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) announced his intention to introduce a bill to ban the social media app TikTok nationwide.
Hawley, a longtime critic of the app, views it as a"Trojan Horse" for the Chinese Communist Party. He didn't say when he would introduce the bill, but he cited Congress's banning of the app on government devices last week as precedent.
.@tiktok_us is China’s backdoor into Americans’ lives. It threatens our children’s privacy as well as their mental health. Last month Congress banned it on all government devices. Now I will introduce legislation to ban it nationwideHawley played a key role in the decision to include a ban of TikTok on state-owned devices as a provision in December's massive omnibus spending bill.
"States across the U.S. are banning TikTok on government devices. It’s time for Joe Biden and the Democrats to help do the same," he said.
