Hageman | H001096 | hageman.house.gov | hageman | https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman voted in favor of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. This legislation would prevent foreign adversaries – currently defined as China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia – from targeting, surveilling, and manipulating the American people through online applications like TikTok. Representative Hageman stated, “With 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’s land ownership in America being a threat to our security – this data ownership is equally dangerous. “For users of TikTok, this legislation does not ‘ban’ the app, but rather forces the Chinese Communist Party controlled ByteDance to divest of its ownership stake in the app.” Background: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T20:32:04Z |
