President Donald Trump signed an executive order to, once again, delay the nationwide ban of TikTok, after dozens of lawmakers sounded the alarm over the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence through the application.

During this week's broadcast of Alabama Public Television's "Capitol Journal," U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) discussed the need for Congress' proactive approach on dealing with the TikTok issue.

U.S. Rep. Dale Strong said the best thing outside of outlawing the app would be for Americans to simply stop using it.

State Superintendent Eric Mackey issued a recommendation last week that schools fall in line with Gov. Kay Ivey’s mandate to ban TikTok from state devices and block access on campus.

Days after Gov. Kay Ivey issued a memo banning the use of TikTok from government devices, Auburn University announced its plans to prohibit the app as well.
