Lawmakers and Biden Consider TikTok Ban Amid National Security Concerns

Senators Mark Warner and Marco Rubio have labeled TikTok as a "national security issue" due to concerns about the app's data collection and potential manipulation by the Chinese Communist Party. They emphasized the threat posed by the app, particularly as a news source for American youth, and the access to data by the Chinese government. A House bill targeting TikTok's ownership and access to data is set for a vote, with President Biden indicating his support despite his recent presence on the app.
