Bill Would Add National Security Warnings to Some App Downloads

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) introduced legislation that would send consumers warnings before they download applications developed in countries considered national security risks. If passed, the bill would mean that users would be alerted about alleged risks of downloading the hugely popular short-form video platform TikTok, which is linked to Chinese company ByteDance.
