How Soon Lawmakers Could Ban TikTok In The United States

Washington lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan bill that would ban TikTok in the U.S. called the "ANTI-SOCIAL CCP Act." NBC News' Allie Raffa explains why both Democrats and Republicans are acting with a sense of urgency and whether the bill could be passed before the new year.

The US realized that other countries with social media companies use our information the same way the US do.

You know something needs to be done when both sides agree on the same topic

[scut]

If it brings the Left and Right together in agreement, then I’m all for it.

[imjustsomeguy]

Should've been banned years ago. I hope they will finally go through with this

[nogins]

One more reason not to vote Republican

[nicksaavedra]

Good to see bipartisanship on this and good to see comments agree for it too. Maybe there is hope for humanity

[coreysmith]

Finally a recent law that’s got purpose

[fordpower]

I am in full support of banning TikTok

[jetmoon]

Imagine all the unemployed youth without TikTok...chaos

Politicians when trying to ban tiktok: 🗿

Politicians when trying to do anything else: 🤥🤑😴🤡

Shows just how bad that godforsaken app is.

This again? I mean, if it gets banned I won't really care because I don't use it. In fact, I think I'd be a bit happier since there'd be no more annoying TikTok dancers blocking the way. But will this actually happen? I thought it was over in 2020 with Trump.

Please for the love of god let this happen. We needed a permanent ban years ago!

[Mr.Snowmin]

Finally, I got hope for the U.S humanity

[Joshua-Samarita]

Isn’t in 2020, Trump warned us that Tiktok is dangerous to our national security and people say he’s just lying? 😂😂😂😂

[onthemoney]

I'm totally on board with banning tick tock in USA..it's a phenomenal idea. I hope the bipartisan Bill gets passed and enforced.

[thejedicounciloffical]

If tiktok is banned, there would be less cringe in the world.

[baileyb]

This is exactly what Trump wanted to do, but he got a ton of push back. They’re mincing words. This is a Chinese owned app that has always been very alarming.

I have never, and will never, have tiktok.

As a Canadian, I am extremely thrilled by this news. Let’s hope we in Canada follow suite our American cousins and do the same.
