In Virginia, the Democrat-controlled Legislature failed Republican-backed TikTok usage ban bill for children.
A proposed ban on children using the video-sharing app TikTok in Virginia has failed in the Democratic-controlled Legislature. The Republican-backed bill, sponsored by Delegate Jay Leftwich, aimed to protect children's mental health and data privacy and aimed to prevent TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, from providing access to the platform for any child within the state. The bill did not progress through the committee, causing it to fail to meet procedural deadlines.
