This is a pretty huge change so I thought it worth bringing up as a new topic.
More than 30 U.S. states, Canada and European Union policy institutions have banned TikTok from being loaded onto state-owned devices

Two U.S. senators plan to introduce legislation this week aimed at letting the government ban or prohibit foreign technology such as TikTok.

Warner said he was concerned that TikTok “can be a propaganda tool” based on the types of videos it sends to users.
He said the bill he plans to introduce “would say, in terms of foreign technology coming into America, we’ve got to have a systematic approach to make sure we can ban or prohibit it when necessary.”
He said he planned to introduce the legislation this week with Republican Senator John Thune. A spokesperson for Warner said they expected to make an announcement on Tuesday.
Details about the proposed bill were not available on Sunday. A spokesman for Thune did not immediately respond to questions about the plan. (Reporting by Brad Heath Editing by Marguerita Choy)
