The House of Representatives on July 20 voted on a measure to ban TikTok from all government-issued devices amid rising scrutiny of the security risks posed by the Chinese social media app.
Lawmakers voted 336-71 to pass the proposal initiated by Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), part of a suite of bipartisan amendments to the annual defense spending bill, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The measure would bar federal employees, including congressional members and staff, from installing and using the app on government devices.
