TL;DR Summary
Congress is considering a nationwide ban on TikTok due to concerns over national security and privacy risks. Polls show that a majority of American adults support the ban, but younger Americans, who use the app more frequently, are opposed. Some progressives have criticized the ban as rooted in xenophobia against China. Meanwhile, President Biden's approval rating remains at 42.6 percent.
