US or ban Tiktok? The US Senate passed a bill banning the use of TikTok by government equipment

Integrating Reuters, Wall Street Journal and BBC news reports, US Republican Senator Marco Rubio announced on December 13 that he proposed a cross party bill to "block" TikTok (US version of Tiktok).
At present, the US Senate has unanimously approved the bill to prohibit federal employees from downloading or using the social media application TikTok on government devices.
Tonight (15th), the United States Senate will pass the bill by oral vote.
Later, the bill must be passed in the House of Representatives and signed by the President before it can become a law# 1 TikTok has a great influence.
The US government is highly alert that TikTok is loved by people all over the world and widely used in more than 150 countries.
It is estimated that the total number of users will reach 1.8 billion by the end of the year.
At a time when the global population is about to exceed 8 billion, it is a considerable number that up to 1.8 billion people can use an application.
With a population of 300 million in the United States, TikTok has 200 million downloads and 140 million active users, especially among American teenagers.
The data in 2021 shows that the proportion of young Americans (12-17 years old) using TikTok is as high as 63%, which is almost zero in 2019.
In 2021, TikTok will rank first in the number of smartphone APP downloads worldwide.
(Picture from Xinhua News Agency) The Wall Street Journal reported that US lawmakers had repeatedly stated that TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, wanted to share data with the Chinese government.
They were concerned about this situation, and repeatedly proposed to ban TikTok's downloading in the United States to protect American users' data.
Last month, the FBI chief worried that TikTok would use the app to influence users or control their electronic products.
At present, many federal agencies, including the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Homeland Security and the State Department, have banned the use of TikTok on government owned equipment.
In addition, the governors of North Dakota and Iowa recently issued an order prohibiting administrative units from downloading TikTok on government issued devices.
So far, 12 states have taken similar actions, including Alabama and Utah, which joined this week# 2 The House of Representatives is unlikely to pass.
BBC News commented on December 14 that the bill is unlikely to be passed in the end.
The commentary quoted Caitlin Chin, a research institute of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think-tank, as saying that it is unlikely that TikTok will be banned nationwide soon.
In addition, although it is generally believed that it is necessary to make changes to the US data privacy and content review rules, the legislators have made slow progress.
She also mentioned that many other websites also collect similar information.
"From the perspective of privacy, just stopping TikTok cannot fill the gap." In fact, as early as Trump's time, the US government had tried to "block" Ti many times
