Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., is set to introduce the legislation with Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., at a 3 p.m. ET press conference on Tuesday.

Last week, the House Foreign Affairs Committee passed a Republican-sponsored bill with similar goals along party lines.U.S. Senator Mark Warner speaks to the media following a classified briefing for U.S. Senators about the latest unknown objects shot down by the U.S. military, on Capitol Hill in Washington, February 14, 2023.

TikTok has repeatedly said it does not store U.S. user data in China and has taken steps to build a plan to further reduce the risk of influence from the Chinese government. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Warner acknowledged that TikTok users will likely try to find ways to get around a ban, should one come into place, like by using virtual private networks that can obscure the location from which a user is connecting to the internet. He added that the bill would not "go after individual users."
