TikTok's National Security Threat Debate Continues.

President Biden is caught between China hawks and young voters as pressure mounts to address national security concerns around TikTok. Lawmakers of both parties have alleged that the app could undermine national security by amplifying pro-Chinese propaganda and sharing user data with China’s government. The Biden administration's preferred solution is for the site to spin off its U.S. operations, but China's opposition to a forced sale has complicated the issue. Momentum on Capitol Hill is growing for legislation that would give the White House the legal authority to ban TikTok outright, but it remains unclear whether the administration would really try to push through an outright ban if that remains the only option.
