A bipartisan bill introduced this week could ban TikTok from the U.S. The bill would allow the Department of Commerce to review and possibly ban any technologies where user data interacts with a “foreign adversary and poses undue or unacceptable risk to national security” The bill never mentioned TikTok by name, but it is clearly aimed at the popular Chinese-owned brand.
Critics and experts have pointed out that given how the legislation is written, something else may be at hand.
The bill would allow the government to identify whether foreign-owned communications technology presents unacceptable risks to U.S. persons.
Greene said that a portion of the law that defines what will and will not be released to the public from a review of a given media company is far too vague.
“I would like to see this bill have more robust transparency requirements,” he said.
