A number of influential conservatives warned a bill that could ultimately ban the Social media app TikTok in the U.S. could have unintended consequences after it was passed in the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
One went as far as to describe the bill as a “Trojan horse” for other unforeseen bans.
The bipartisan Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act would force TikTok’s Chinese Community Party-linked owner ByteDance to divest from the app within six months or see removal from American app stores.
The idea is to keep the app available but to free it from potential Chinese influence and espionage concerns.
