TikTok users are mobilizing to prevent a potential ban by urging Congress to reject a new bill targeting the app. The proposed legislation seeks to address national security concerns associated with TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance. The company has used in-app pop-up messages to rally its user base, calling on them to stand up against the bill. However, the bill's co-sponsors insist that it is not a ban but rather an effort to ensure TikTok operates free from external influence. Despite support from the Biden administration, a ban appears politically unpopular, with the President's own campaign using TikTok for outreach.
