The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act is co-sponsored by Reps. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL).
After a long reprieve from serious congressional scrutiny, lawmakers are taking another crack at getting TikTok to sever ties from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. The leaders of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, chair Mike Gallagher and ranking member Raja Krishnamoorthi , announced the introduction of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act on Tuesday.
That bill came after the House Energy and Commerce Committee grilled TikTok’s CEO about its ties to China, which marked the peak of momentum on Capitol Hill around the idea of a TikTok ban or forced divestment. Yet concerns over the RESTRICT Act’s reach and the authority it would grant to the executive branch eventually stalled movement on the issue. The new legislation was crafted in an attempt to avoid potential constitutional concerns.
