Bipartisan Bill Seeks to Ban TikTok Over National Security Concerns

The proposed legislation faces criticism for potentially infringing on First Amendment rights, echoing challenges of past attempts.

A new bipartisan House bill aims to ban TikTok in the U.S., citing national security concerns and ties to foreign adversaries.
The bill, named the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, would prevent U.S. app stores and web-hosting companies from offering TikTok.
Critics argue the bill infringes on First Amendment rights and could face legal challenges, similar to previous attempts to ban the app.
Supporters of the bill express concerns over TikTok's potential for spreading propaganda and compromising American data security.
The bill's introduction has sparked debate over the balance between national security and free speech rights, especially in an election year.
