"Senate Unanimously Passes Bill Banning TikTok From Government Devices"

The Senate just passed a bill by unanimous consent that would ban the social media app TikTok from all government devices amid increased scrutiny over the app's perceived threats to national security.  Lawmakers have been increasingly vocal about their concerns over the world's most popular app, owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based company.   Critics of the app worry that the company's connections to the Chinese Communist Party could lead to United States citizens' data being acquired by the U.S. adversary and used maliciously.  Governors in some states have already issued bans or suggested bans of the app on state-issued or leased devices, including Nebraska, South Dakota, South Carolina, Maryland, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
