    In Arlington, Virginia, the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, along with other lawmakers, is considering changes to a proposed legislation that would give the Biden administration the power to ban Chinese-owned TikTok. Democratic Senator Mark Warner, who co-sponsored the bill, revealed that TikTok’s aggressive lobbying against the Restrict Act has slowed down the momentum of the legislation since its introduction in March. However, Warner assured that they have a proposal for a series of amendments to address concerns and criticisms related to individual impact and the broad expansion of government power that the bill may entail.

    This development was confirmed by Warner in an interview with Reuters. When asked about the concerns and criticisms raised, Warner stated, “We have a proposal on a series of amendments to make it explicitly clear.” He emphasizes the need for transparency and ensuring that individual Americans are not negatively affected by the legislation. Additionally, Warner aims to address the perception that the bill gives the government a wide-ranging authority that may lead to potential abuse.

    David Shepardson, the reporter covering this story, reported the details in this article. The proposed changes to the legislation are being carefully considered to meet the concerns raised. Furthermore, Leslie Adler has carried out the editing of this article to present the information accurately.
