A coalition of 17 lawmakers is urging Congress to prevent representatives and senators from using TikTok amid debate over legislation to enact a nationwide ban of the China-founded app.
President Biden signed a law in December 2022 passed by Congress that banned TikTok from federal government devices, but some lawmakers have continued to use the platform.
“We feel this situation warrants further action to protect the privacy of both sensitive congressional information and the personal information of our constituents,” the lawmakers wrote. “To that end, we urge you to enact a change to the Senate and House rules to ban members of Congress from using TikTok for official use.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, published her first video on the platform after the hearing with Mr. Chew and she defended TikTok against calls for new restrictions.
