Senate Republicans are introducing legislation that would ban TikTok and a number of other social media companies controlled by China from operating in the United States.

Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) announced the legislation in an op-ed in The Washington Post on Nov. 10, in which they called the Chinese social media app a “major threat to national security.”
