Six senators and two representatives are proposing legislation to thwart foreign adversaries from exploiting U.S. data, and have the popular mobile app in mind.
“Our bipartisan bill would turn off the tap of data to unfriendly nations, stop TikTok from sending Americans’ personal information to China, and allow nations with strong privacy protections to strengthen their relationships,” Mr. Wyden said in a statement. Sen. Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming Republican, also took a lead role in co-sponsoring the legislation alongside Sens. Bill Haggerty, Tennessee Republican; Martin Heinrich, New Mexico Democrat; and Sheldon Whitehouse, Rhode Island Democrat.
Reps. Warren Davidson, Ohio Republican, and Anna Eshoo, California Democrat, are introducing companion legislation in the House. Mr. Davidson said he viewed the legislation as necessary because “freedom surrendered is rarely reclaimed.”
