TikTok bill faces uncertain fate in the Senate as legislation to regulate tech industry has stalled

The TikTok ban legislation has sparked a lobbying campaign from the app's users, urging them to call their representatives. However, some of these calls have turned threatening, with young voices leaving messages threatening violence against Senator Thom Tillis, who supports the ban. The tech industry has long been successful in fending off regulation, but the Senate is divided on the best approach to handling TikTok's security risks and data privacy concerns. While some lawmakers worry about angering young voters, others believe the legislation is necessary to protect national security interests. Efforts to regulate the tech industry and address online privacy concerns have been stalled for years.
