U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi supports adding legislation passed by the Senate this week, which would bar federal government employees from using Chinese-owned TikTok on government-owned devices, to a government funding bill.

A spokesman for Pelosi said she supports including the TikTok provision in legislation to fund the government that the House of Representatives is set to take up next week.

TikTok has said the concerns are largely fueled by misinformation. The legislation would not affect the more than 100 million Americans who use TikTok on private or company-owned devices. If the House approves its TikTok provision, the Senate would have to add a similar ban to its version of the spending bill before sending it on to President Joe Biden for his signature.

Emily Kilcrease, senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and former deputy assistant U.S. trade representative, said she viewed "the move on the Hill mostly as sign of frustration that we haven’t figured out something to do about this after so many years. ... So I think this is more a sign of political frustration than a meaningful new restriction."

Please ban tiktok_us across the country! It is not a productive platform for the American youth. China is promoting dumb content to intellectually numb the American people. If it was intellectual content, similar to what people in China see then it would be a different story.

God this woman is worst than Ivanka Trump

This is hilarious because Trump ban TikTok in America and Biden let them back in. Remember Biden does what his masters tell him to do. And it’s funny they only want TikTok off of government devices.

What’s with the title? It makes it sound like SpeakerPelosi has absolute control of the house ALL social media should be banned from Government devices. Why would I want my tax dollars spent on toys for the government employees? If tiktok is the most popular app then what gives them the right to ban it, if they are supposed to represent the people? Also, these same people talk down about China banning our apps.
