U.S. Reps. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) and Lou Correa (D-Calif.) have introduced a proposal aimed at curbing security threats posed by the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok.

The measure would prevent all federal employees from downloading and using TikTok or any other apps developed by its parent company ByteDance on government-issued phones.
