Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said there is no current plans to follow the US lead in dealing with Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok.

Last night, the US House of Representatives voted in favour of a bill that could lead to a potential ban of the platform.

If the bill succeeds in the senate, TikTok would face a potential ban in the United States if the Chinese parent company ByteDance does not divest its US assets in six months.

The bill passed the House with a vote of 352-65 and will move to the Senate where another vote will determine its fate.

“We have given TikTok a clear choice,” Republican Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers said.

Anthony Albanese told ABC Radio, “We haven’t got advice at this stage to do that (ban TikTok). We don’t use TikTok on government phones, and that is an appropriate measure that we’re putting in place.”

According to TikTok, there are 150m American users of the platform.
