Sen. Thom Tillis renewed calls for a TikTok ban, urging members of Congress to remove the app from their personal phones and stop engaging with its content. The statement specifically targets members of Congress who have garnered large followings on the social media platform, often using the app’s short videos to connect with supporters.
Those numbers were similar for House races, with 30% of Democratic candidates using the social media platform compared to just 11% of Republicans, the report found. Rep. Jamaal Bowman has emerged as a key leader of the opposition, rejecting arguments that the app poses national security risks as “fearmongering.” Bowman has become one of the first lawmakers to come out in support of the Chinese-owned app, which has prompted concerns among lawmakers on Capitol Hill about possible spying and data collection.
The public appears split on whether they think the government should ban TikTok in the U.S., with a recent survey finding those sentiments largely split along party lines. Nearly half the nation says they want a ban, with 64% of Republicans expressing support, compared to just 51% of Democrats, according to a poll from Quinnipiac University.
