India's ban on 59 Chinese apps, including the popular TikTok, has been widely noted in the US, including by some prominent lawmakers, who have urged the American government to follow suit as it is believed that the short video-sharing app is a major security risk to the country. 'India bans TikTok and dozens of other Chinese apps in the wake of deadly clash,' powerful Republican Senator John Cornyn said in a tweet as he tagged a news report in The Washington Post. Congressman Rick Crawford tweeted that 'TikTok must go and it should have been gone yesterday.' Last week, US National Security Advisor, Robert O'Brien had alleged that the Chinese Government is using TikTok for its own purposes. At least two bills are pending in the US Congress to ban federal government officials from using TikTok on their cell phones, reflecting such a sentiment can gain momentum in the US after India's decision. According to Forbes, with the release of the new clipboard warning in the beta version of iOS 14, now with developers, TikTok seems to have been caught abusing the clipboard in a quite extraordinary way. An amendment moved to the 'Moving Forward Act' in the US Congress being debated this week prohibits officers of Transportation Security Administration using the TikTok cellphone app. Senator Joshua David Hawley introduced a legislation in April prohibiting federal employees from using the social media video application TikTok on government-issued devices.
