White House Reverses Course, Gives Congress Green Light to Pass Bill Banning TikTok

Emel Akan, The Epoch Times

The White House has reversed direction this week, saying it would now support a Senate bill

-- RESTRICT Act -- that would outlaw TikTok in the United States. The Biden administration had been at a standstill for two years over how to deal with the threat to national security posed by the Chinese-owned mobile app. U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Tuesday welcomed a bipartisan bill that would allow the Biden administration to ban the video-sharing app.
