More than 30 US states, Canada and European Union policy institutions have also banned TikTok from being loaded onto state-owned devices.
Mr Warner said he was concerned that TikTok “can be a propaganda tool”, based on the types of videos it sends to users. He said the Bill he plans to introduce “would say, in terms of foreign technology coming into America – we’ve got to have a systematic approach to make sure we can ban or prohibit it when necessary.”
He said he planned to introduce the legislation this week with Republican Senator John Thune. A spokesman for Mr Warner said they expected to make an announcement on Tuesday. Details about the proposed Bill were not available on Sunday. A spokesman for Mr Thune did not immediately respond to questions about the plan. REUTERS
