Thousands of TikTok users are calling members of Congress to voice concerns about a bipartisan bill that could lead to a ban on the app due to its connections with China. Capitol Hill aides report receiving calls from children, adults, and even students in classrooms, with some expressing fears over losing access to the popular social media platform. The bill aims to compel ByteDance, TikTok\'s owner, to divest from the app or face a ban. Republicans suggest that TikTok is actively lobbying its users to contact Congress in opposition to the proposed legislation.
