in congress to ban tiktok. the fear is it's collecting information that will eventually end up in the hands of china's communist government. the app has already been banned on federal government devices, and even nato has banned the app from its computers and cell phones. david pogue reports. >> reporter: tiktok is the most popular app in the united states. 150 million americans use it every month, almost half the population. ♪ tiktok offers an endless scrolling wonderland of humor, music and dancing, tips, infor information, and opinions. it's all short videos posted by fellow tiktok fans and all delivered to you according to your interests. and for about 5 million businesses, tiktok is also a marketing tool. >> this is the perfect package. >> it taught me how to do e-commerce, how to get into

3:45 am
also true of facebook, youtube, and instagram. so what's the key difference? >> tiktok has a parent company named bytedance, and bytedance is a chinese company that has to cooperate with the chinese communist party. >> as parents, i think we would say all social media is not necessarily great for kids, but that is a fundamental distinction in terms of dealing with the tiktok issue. >> reporter: representatives raja krishnamoorthi, a democrat, and mike gallagher, a republican, are co-sponsors of one of the ban tiktok bills, and their biggest worry is number four. >> the thing that most concerns me, however, is the ability to control what story lines americans see or don't see and ultimately influence our elections, which could be catastrophic in the future. >> there's absolutely no indication that this is in some way manipulated or controlled by the chinese communist party. we just found that to be a complete fabrication. >> reporter: milton mueller is a professor of cybersecurity and

3:47 am
gallagher and krishnamoorthi's bill, called the anti-social ccp act, intends to force the issue. >> there could be two outcomes. one would be a ban of the app altogether, or it would allow for a sale to an american company. >> hasn't somebody in your immediate circle said, guys, banning tiktok will be a political disaster? >> i would say allowing this to continue would be a geopolitical disaster, and that, to me, is far more important than angering some teenagers. >> so celtic talk or ban it? truth is, selling it might be impossible. >> it's worth a lot. but the chinese communist party may object. >> reporter: as for banning tiktok -- >> there's probably a 90% chance that would be ruled unconstitutional. >> because of? >> the first amendment. you're banning an information source. you're banning a publication. i have to emphasize this.
3:48 am
if you ban tiktok, it's not the chinese government that would be silenced. it's the 150 million american users of the app. those are the ones whose free speech rights would be violated by a ban. >> reporter: but tiktok is proposing a third option. ceo might have mentioned it a couple times during his testimony. >> project texas, project texas, project texas. >> reporter: it's a proposal to move tiktok's entire operation to the u.s., to put all of its data and even those top-secret algorithms under the supervision of oracle, an american company. >> the bottom line is this. american data stored on american soil by an american company, overseen by american personnel. this is eliminates the concern that some of you have shared with me that tiktok user data can be subject to chinese law. >> reporter: congress isn't sold. >> i still believe that the beijing communist government
3:49 am
will still control and have the ability to influence what you do. >> reporter: mueller believes that attacking tiktok is an easy way for politicians to look tough on china. >> tiktok is a symbolic way for these people to attack even the most innocent forms of interaction between the chinese digital economy and the u.s. digital economy. >> reporter: as for badery nicole, she's become a save tiktok activist. tiktok even flew her and 25 other fans to washington to join a rally against the ban, and she has some advice for congress. >> at this congressional hearing, it was very clear you may not have done all of your due diligence that you owe us as your constituents. you really need to get on the app and have a better understanding of the decisions being made on how it's going to affect the greater good of the people. >> that was david pogue [♪♪] did you know, unless you treat dandruff regularly, it will keep coming back. try head & shoulders shampoo.
