TikTok is in serious danger after a brutal Congressional hearing

The proposal with the most momentum — and backing from the White House — is a bill from Sens.

It would give the President the power to take action against technology platforms tied to foreign adversaries that access data on more than 1 million Americans, including by forcing divestment or preventing American companies from doing business with them.

“I don't think there is an appetite for a TikTok specific bill, but there is a desire to have a more systemic solution to the range of threats that can arise from foreign technologies in the U.S. market,” said Emily Kilcrease, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security in Washington.

That bill doesn’t yet have a House counterpart, though Warner has been engaging with Republicans on the House side. Even some members who have been skeptical of past proposals have signaled support for Warner and Thune’s legislation.
