The U.S. Senate has approved legislation to ban the use of TikTok on government devices. Georgia and other states are either blocking or proposing to block TikTok on state devices, including college campuses.

TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company. The critics of TikTok fear the Chinese government could access information through the app, and use it to spread misinformation.
