Calling it “a broad bipartisan bill” that will be co-sponsored by Republican John Thune of South Dakota, Warner said the law will give the US the power to ban or prohibit foreign technology where necessary. When asked if that would implicate ByteDance’s TikTok, he confirmed and elaborated on his reasoning.
TikTok’s commercial success in the US has come at the expense of local social media giants like Meta Platforms and Alphabet’s YouTube, with both developing short-video services in response to the app’s popularity. ByteDance has sought to distance the service from its China roots, including by hosting user data in Singapore, though threats of a ban in the US have lingered for years.
“I think for a long time, conventional wisdom was, the more you bring China into the world order, the more they’re going to change. And that assumption was just plain wrong,” he said.
