"Rick" Crawford | C001087 | crawford.house.gov | crawford | https://crawford.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Sara Robertson (Sara.Robertson2@mail.house.gov) Chairman of CIA Subcommittee, Rep. Crawford, Comments on Passage of TikTok Bill 3/13/2024 Washington — Today, Congressman Rick Crawford (AR-01) released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 7521, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. "The extent to which the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will go to expand its malign influence within the United States is a grave threat that I'm tracking closely as chairman of the Intel Committee's CIA Subcommittee. "From storing Americans' biometrics when they use TikTok filters, to accessing financial data and location information, and more, the amount of personal data the CCP has on Americans is alarming, and it is a national security threat. What's more, allowing a Chinese owned app to maliciously operate within our borders is a gateway for foreign espionage and malicious impacts that can be weaponized at a moment's notice. "It is the duty of Congress to ensure that Americans are protected by the appropriate regulatory laws against foreign adversaries, like the CCP. Americans go to great lengths to protect themselves from identity theft and to protect their personal information. By ensuring that TikTok cannot be owned by any company affiliated with the CCP, H.R. 7521 will protect the sensitive data and facial biometrics that the CCP is currently collecting." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T20:32:04Z |
