Scott has previously called for the U.S. to cut ties between TikTok and China-based parent company ByteDance.
"Americans should be able to make informed decisions about the online services they use in order to protect their data and security,"
Scott said of the Know Your App Act."Requiring app stores to display an app's country of origin is a commonsense solution that can help them do just that." Users of social media apps face heightened security risks through privacy breaches and potential exploitation to which minors are especially susceptible, according to the"Parents shouldn't fear that their family's online privacy and security could be compromised when unknowingly using an app owned by a foreign adversary," Scott said in a statement released Tuesday.
"The Know Your App Act would bring much-needed transparency to app stores, empowering Americans to safeguard their families from exploitation," he added.
