Bennet wants TikTok removed from app stores

DENVER (KDVR) — Calls for TikTok to be removed from phones around the United States are growing louder across the nation.

A U.S. senator from Colorado is now joining the list of people looking to stop the app’s use and is calling on Apple and Google to remove it from their stores.

Democratic Senator Michael Bennet not only wants the app be removed from phones, he is asking to have it removed from app stores for good; sending a letter to the CEOs of Apple and Google, asking them to remove the app from their digital stores.

“We’ve got a platform out there that a third of the American people are spending on average more than 80 minutes a day on that’s owned by ByteDance, that’s the Chinese company that owns TikTok,” Bennet said.
