The U.S. Senate has passed a bill that bars federal employees from using TikTok on government-issued devices amid national security fears., is the latest move in the U.S. against TikTok, which is owned by Chinese tech giant ByteDance.
Last month, FBI Director Chris Wray warned lawmakers that the Chinese government could use TikTok to launch “influence operations” or to “technically compromise” millions of devices. TikTok, which has more than 100 million users in the U.S., calls the measure a “politically-motivated ban that will do nothing to advance the national security of the United States.”
