TikTok Tells Users to Call Congress to Complain

TikTok is urging users throughout the U.S. to call on Congress to stop a shutdown of the app amid new proposed legislation that could result in the app being banned.

On X, formerly Twitter, many users shared screenshots of notifications they received from TikTok on Thursday urging them to contact Congress and tell them to stop a possible shutdown of the app.

"When I opened TikTok today, I got this pop-up that gives you no option to exit or swipe away, the only action is to 'call now,'" Casey Lewis wrote on X, sharing an image of the notification.
