US to introduce bipartisan legislation against Chinese-app TikTok this week

US Senator Mark Warner on Sunday (local time) said that America would be introducing bipartisan legislation this week aimed at letting the government “ban or prohibit” foreign technology products such as Chinese-owned TikTok.

Warner said that he and Senator John Thune will introduce the bill, adding, “I’ve got a broad Bipartisan bill that I’m launching with my friend John Thune will be the Republican lead where we’re going to say, in terms of foreign technology coming into America, we’ve got to have a systemic approach to make sure that we can ban or prohibit it when necessary.”

In an interview with Fox News, Warner said, “We have never had a potential adversary like China. So this week, I’m introducing bipartisan legislation to protect our national security against a wide range of foreign tech threats.”
