Biden still backs bill to address TikTok concerns-official

The Biden administration continues to back legislation to address national security concerns about popular Chinese-owned social media app TikTok, White House spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday.

During a virtual briefing, Kirby reiterated the government's support of a bill, known as the RESTRICT ACT, which would give President Joe Biden new powers to tackle foreign technology threats and which could allow the administration to ban TikTok.
