Congress is set to advance a bipartisan bill Thursday that will regulate TikTok, sparking the social media platform to launch an effort urging users to call their representatives, which has resulted in reports of disturbing threats being directed toward lawmakers.
At least two House offices have said that they've received calls from U.S. children threatening suicide if the bill passes, according to The Spectator.
"It’s so so bad. Our phones have not stopped ringing. They’re teenagers and old people saying they spend their whole day on the app and we cant [sic] take it away," one GOP congressional staffer told a Politico reporter.
