The US House of Representatives has voted in favor of the Act to Protect Americans from Applications Controlled by Foreign Adversaries.
This bill could pave the way for a TikTok ban in the country, with its fate now pending in the Senate.
The app is deemed a national security threat by a bipartisan majority, attributed to allegations of TikTok being utilized for collecting data on American citizens and spreading harmful information.
Today's bipartisan vote demonstrates Congress' opposition to Communist China's attempts to spy on and manipulate Americans, and signals our resolve to deter our enemies,
stated House Speaker Mike Johnson.
The spokesperson for China's Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a statement regarding the bill, asserting that using national security as grounds to diminish other countries' competitive edge lacks fairness.
