House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has pledged to continue working on a bill to ban the video-sharing app TikTok. In a Sunday Twitter post, McCarthy reacted to congressional testimony from the social-media platform's CEO, Shou Zi Chew, on Thursday:

It's very concerning that the CEO of TikTok can't be honest and admit what we already know to be true — China has access to TikTok user data. The House will be moving forward with legislation to protect Americans from the technological tentacles of the Chinese Communist Party.

FlashPoll: Should Congress Ban TikTok? Vote "YES" Or "NO" Now!

President Trump called for a U.S. ban on TikTok more than two years ago. Now, Congress is finally catching up to the possible dangers of the popular video-sharing app, which is owned by a company based in Beijing.

A growing number of U.S. lawmakers say TikTok's ability to collect data from the user's device -- both on and off the app -- poses nation-security and privacy risks. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) told The Hill last month:

"The big problem with TikTok is that it is a backdoor for the Chinese Communist Party into the personal data and the personal lives of every American who uses it, that includes especially our kids."
