Twitter influencers and politicians have united in calls to “ban TikTok” after lawmakers proposed legislation to stop the app from operating in the U.S.
The Heritage Foundation's Jake Denton discusses the need for an outright TikTok ban for users in the United States on 'Fox News Live.'
The legislation would effectively demonetize any app in China's orbit and is titled"Averting the National Threat of Internet Surveillance, Oppressive Censorship and Influence, and Algorithmic Learning by the Chinese Communist Party Act," or in short, the"ANTI-SOCIAL CCP Act."Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican from Florida, walks to a Senate Republican caucus meeting at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Thursday, Oct. 7, 2021.
Rubio fired back:"This isn’t a GOP-led #TikTok ban ‘craze,’" he wrote."It’s an over 3 year effort that has always been bipartisan[.] But @CNN’s obsession with bashing Republicans is so ingrained in their culture their ‘journalists’ reflexively defend anyone we are against,even the Communist Party of #China."
