This legislation would prevent foreign adversaries \u2013 currently defined as China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia \u2013 from targeting, surveilling, and manipulating the American people through online applications like TikTok.\n\nRepresentative Hageman stated, \u201cWith user data on millions of Americans and over 210 million downloads in the United States, TikTok is a clear and present danger to our national security. Due to the structure of laws governing business under the Chinese Communist Party, this user data is not only available to parent company ByteDance, but also to the Chinese government. The potential for nefarious uses, spying, and manipulation of data is of significant concern. We have often talked about Communist China\u2019s land ownership in America being a threat to our security \u2013 this data ownership is equally dangerous.\n\n\u201cFor users of TikTok, this legislation does not \u2018ban\u2019 the app, but rather forces the Chinese Communist Party controlled ByteDance to divest of its ownership stake in the app.\u201d\n\nBackground:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T20:32:04Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases/hageman-votes-force-bytedance-divest-tiktok"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0386607609689236, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
