US lawmakers from both parties jointly proposed to ban TikTok in the US, and proposed to ban TikTok in many states

On December 13, local time, Shan Shan, a reporter of Orient.
com and Zongxiang, members of the United States Republican and Democratic parties jointly proposed a new bill to ban TikTok across the United States.
Just the day before, the governors of Alabama and Utah announced to disable TikTok on state government equipment or networks on the grounds of "national data security".
As of the press release, 9 states in the United States have announced that TikTok is banned from government equipment, 6 states plan to ban TikTok, and 1 state has filed a lawsuit against TikTok.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has said that China firmly opposes the usual practice of the US side to suppress Chinese enterprises on the pretext of false information.
This bill was jointly proposed by Republican Senator Marco Rubio and Democratic House of Representatives Krishnamurti.
The bill cited the findings of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and believed that TikTok collected a large number of American privacy, especially the privacy of American teenagers.
According to NBC, the US legislator announced in the relevant document submitted on the 13th that the bill would "block and prohibit all transactions of any social media company from China, Russia and other worrying countries" to protect Americans from being monitored.
These companies may face restrictions "until the President of the United States proves to Congress that the company no longer meets any of the conditions described".
According to the report, due to the limited time remaining in the current session of the United States Congress, it is unlikely that the two chambers will consider the proposal during the current session.
However, U.S.
lawmakers may propose again next year.
NBC believes that in the House of Representatives, where the Republican Party holds a majority, the proposal is more likely to pass.
President Thayer of the Digital Progress Institute stressed that the states issued bans on TikTok, highlighting the urgent need for the United States federal level to issue clear instructions on TikTok's security issues as soon as possible.
In addition, on the 13th, prosecutors from 15 states in the United States asked Google and Apple executives to cancel the content rating of TikTok as a video sharing application suitable for teenagers.
In the letter to Google CEO Sanda Pizza and Apple CEO Tim Cook, these Republican state officials said that TikTok contains frequent adult content, including content about sex and drugs, which can only reasonably meet the rating suitable for adults or teenagers over 17 years old, rather than the current classification of teenagers listed in Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
The state attorneys general said that Google and Apple should be responsible for ensuring accurate age appropriate ratings, and warned that if the TikTok rating issue is not resolved, they may face legal proceedings in various states.
For a long time, the United States has been suppressing TikTok in the name of "national security".
Former President Trump of the United States issued an executive order in 2020 prohibiting TikTok from operating in the United States, but he lost in a series of court proceedings against the measure.
The current President Biden revoked Trump's series of executive orders in June last year and ordered the Ministry of Commerce to review the security problems caused by relevant applications.
