(Observer News) According to CNBC, Reuters and other reports, on the 13th, members of the United States Republican and Democratic parties jointly proposed a new bill to ban TikTok across the United States.
CNBC reported that the members who proposed the bill include Marco Rubio, Republican Senator of Florida, Mike Gallagher, Republican Representative of Wisconsin, and Raja Krishnamourthi, Democratic Senator of Illinois.
It is reported that the bill will "block and prohibit all transactions of any social media company from China, Russia and other 'countries of concern'" to protect Americans from monitoring.
These companies may face restrictions, "unless and until the President of the United States proves to Congress that the company no longer meets any of the conditions described", such as being "significantly affected" by these "countries of concern".
On the 13th, after the news, social media stocks including Meta and Snap rose.
As of the late morning of the 13th local time, Meta's share price had risen by more than 6% and Snap's share price had risen by more than 3%.
The share prices of Snap and Meta both rose sharply after the news came out.
TikTok believed that the data of American users was stored safely outside China, and the Chinese government would not have access to these data.
A spokesman for TikTok said, "It is disturbing that some members of Congress did not encourage the (US) government to end the national security review of TikTok, but decided to promote a politically motivated ban, which will not help promote the national security of the United States.", "We will continue to introduce to members of Congress the plans made under the supervision of China's highest national security agency.
We are implementing these plans to further protect our platform in the United States." For a long time, the United States has suppressed TikTok in the name of the so-called "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.
In addition to portraying the "threat" posed by Tiktok at the level of "national security", some experts in the United States slandered that American children accepted content different from Chinese children on this platform, which has brought negative effects.
In November this year, according to the report of CBS TV's 60 Minutes on the 8th, when Tristan Harris, a former Google design ethicist, talked about the impact of social media on young people and children in an interview, he inexplicably pulled out TikTok to "shake the pot", claiming that the content presented to children by the Chinese version of Tiktok and the overseas version of TikTok was "very different"
