Washington CNN  — 

A trio of US lawmakers has introduced new legislation that aims to ban TikTok from operating in the United States.

The new bill by Sen. Marco Rubio, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, and a bipartisan pair of congressmen in the House, reflects the latest escalation by US policymakers against the Chinese-owned short-form video app. TikTok has faced doubts about its ability to safeguard US user data from the Chinese government.

Only government devices? 

What a shame- I was hoping it was being banned entirely.

If the US Government believed til til to be a threat to the data on US Government devices then they must also believe it a threat to the data on private devices and those owned/used by businesses.

 

So I agree, ban it across the whole US.
