TikTok ban to be introduced by bipartisan lawmakers

(NewsNation) — A bipartisan group of House lawmakers are introducing what is effectively a bill banning TikTok on Tuesday, sources tell NewsNation.

While the bill isn’t limited to TikTok, it would include the social media platform among entities that would be banned, including its parent company ByteDance.

The legislation makes it unlawful for American app platforms to offer any apps that are operated by foreign adversaries like China, Russia, North Korea or Iran. Lawmakers define this as one of these countries having at least 20% “operational authority” over the app, as well as if a company’s headquarters is within an adversary’s borders.
