The step to include TikTok in a broader foreign aid package may fast-track the timeline on a potential ban after an earlier separate bill stalled in the Senate. Democratic Senator Mark Warner, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on Sunday that TikTok could be used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese government, noting that"many young people" use TikTok to get news.
Some Democrats have also raised free speech concerns over a ban and instead asked for stronger data privacy legislation.
