"Senate Delays TikTok Bill Despite China Warnings"

The Senate is not expected to take up the House-passed bill to ban TikTok in the U.S. anytime soon, with Senators expressing concerns about the app's national security threat and working on their own legislation. Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell plans to hold a joint public hearing about TikTok after the Easter recess, emphasizing the need to "get it right." While some Republicans urge swift action, Democrats support a deliberate approach, with President Biden vowing to sign the bill into law. TikTok's aggressive lobbying campaign targets the Senate, while concerns about the app's power are underscored by threatening calls received by some senators' offices.
