Presidential candidate SenatorTimScott introduced legislation intended to rein in TikTok without the outright ban proposed by other lawmakers by requiring app developers to list their country of origin.
On Tuesday, Scott introduced the Know Your App Act, a bill that would require apps to publicly display information about the country in which they were developed. It would also require the Commerce and Treasury departments to create a list of"adversarial governments" that maintain control over an application's design, content choice, and other elements.
“Americans should be able to make informed decisions about the online services they use in order to protect their data and security," Scott said in a press statement."Requiring app stores to display an app’s country of origin is a common-sense solution that can help them do just that."The bill arose in response to four out of five of the top apps on Android and Apple in March being made in China, leading some lawmakers to worry about China's influence on U.S. users.
The White House has demanded that TikTok's parent company sell its shares in the company or face a national ban.
