Senator John Cornyn of Texas says TikTok is a Chinese spy balloon that sits on your phone. Cornyn is one of a growing number of GOP lawmakers who want to give the president the ability to ban the social media site, citing its ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The White House is ordering all federal agencies to wipe the app from government devices. TikTok says a nationwide ban would hurt the free speech rights of millions of Americans.
