While this is a major step forward for the security of our government, it's imperative that we take additional steps to protect individual American citizens from the threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party's control of TikTok. So long as TikTok remains under Beijing's direction, its capacity to track the real-world movements and online activities of Americans while potentially serving them curated propaganda poses too great of a threat to be ignored. I urge my colleagues to join us in support of this bipartisan legislation to ban TikTok unless its ownership and control are moved out of the reach of the Chinese Communist Party." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
