WASHINGTON—The Senate’s move to expand a ban on TikTok being downloaded on government-issued smartphones and other devices comes amid widening concerns over the Chinese-owned video app’s security risks, but the measure faces a doubtful future in the House.
The Senate passed a similar bill in 2020, and the legislation stalled out in the House. With just days left in the current session, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) was noncommittal Thursday when asked whether the bill would receive a House vote before adjournment.
