TikTok has proved to be a threat to our national security. This bill could protect us from the CCP if it becomes law.
From The Epoch Times. The U.S. Senate on Wednesday voted unanimously to pass legislation that would ban the use of the video-sharing app TikTok on government phones and devices amid growing concerns that the app poses a cybersecurity risk and is a threat to national security.

The “No TikTok on Government Devices Act,” was first introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) in April 2021 and will essentially follow up on steps already taken by the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense and The Transportation Security Administration to ban the video application from being used on federal government devices.
Specifically, the bill (pdf) requires the Office of Management and Budget to develop standards for executive agencies that require TikTok and any successor application by its owner to be pulled from any device issued by the U.S. or a government corporation.
The bill does include exceptions for law enforcement activities, national security interests, and security researchers in some circumstances.
Although it passed the Senate unanimously on Wednesday, Hawley’s bill will still need to be passed by the House and signed into law by President Joe Biden.
‘TikTok Is a Trojan Horse for the Chinese Communist Party’
A similar bill was first introduced in March 2020 and unanimously passed the Senate in August 2020 but stalled in the House. It was subsequently reintroduced in April 2021 by Senators Hawley, Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Rubio (R-Fla.), and Cotton (R-Ark.), and it unanimously passed in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Senator Hawley, a Republican, confirmed on Twitter that lawmakers had voted unanimously to pass the latest bill. …

Meanwhile, ByteDance has repeatedly denied that TikTok data is handed to Beijing. …
On Tuesday, Sen. Marco Rubio, (R-Fla.) introduced legislation that would ban TikTok from operating in the United States completely. …

AND prevent Pelosi from adding million in payment to get this done when all the hackers know you simply flip a switch and it’s finished….no more access
Personally I think it should be banned from the USA period!
Father, use what satan means for evil for good. Let your will be done. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Father, I’m deeply saddened to see TikTok placed in such a negative light when I’ve seen you use TikTok so profoundly to spread your gospel. Please convict the creators/owners of TikTok so that they love you and don’t use their app to harm others. Please work out this situation so that TikTok can still be used for your glory as it has been in the past. Father, will you destroy the righteous with the wicked? Have mercy and bring redemption. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Tik tok has never been righteous because the creators are demonic. If the root is evil, all of it is evil! Even on the tik toks you are talking about, the CCP is SPYING on Americans! China desires the destruction of American life as we know it. Tik tok was created to spy on countries. The dictator of China is is rounding up Chinese people and others in China and murdering them daily! Everything from China, that benefits China should be banned in America! FATHER GOD please remove tik tok asap from America in JESUS NAME! Amen!
Father God thank you for taking Rome down in Jesus name I pray
