AGOP-led House committee has unanimously passed a bill that attempts to ban TikTok nationwide on all electronic devices.
The bill passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday and could get a final vote as early as next week, amid concerns about the China-based owner of the popular, short-form video platform giving user data to the Chinese Communist Party.
The measure calls for prohibiting TikTok from being in U.S. app stores, and available for download, unless it is separated from China-linked parent company ByteDance, according to CNN.
