TikTok’s extensive lobbying campaign is the latest tech industry push since the House passed legislation that would ban the popular app if its China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake.
Senator Thom Tillis’s office says it has received around 1,000 calls about TikTok since the House passed legislation this month that would ban the popular app if its China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake.
In Congress, the fate of a bill potentially banning TikTok on U.S. phones remains uncertain. While the House has passed such a bill, it faces hurdles in the Senate due to differing opinions on safeguarding user data from China's influence.
