A Congressional omnibus bill introduced this week includes legislation that would ban the social media app TikTok from government devices due to national security concerns.

The $1.65 trillion spending bill (pdf) introduced on Dec. 20 includes a measure that would ban TikTok from all devices in the executive branch, and closely resembles bans on the app already in place at the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and State.
