The effort is being led in the Senate and was announced on Tuesday as fears mount that the app could be used to spy on Americans.
GOP Sen. Marco Rubio announced a bipartisan bill this week that will work to stop the app's use amid fears that it could be used to spy on Americans.
It will increase pressure on TikTok's parent company, ByteDance Ltd., as lawmakers say the app can be used to monitor the private activity of users and censure content. The Anti-Social CCP Act would try and prohibit and block transactions from any social media organization that is"under the influence" of Russia, Iran, China, North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela.
