Millions of Americans use TikTok, giving China the ability to direct misinformation toward them and collect their personal data. Army Gen. Paul M. Nakasone, commander of U.S. Cyber Command, director of the National Security Agency and chief of the Central Security Service said: “If you consider one-third of the adult population receives their news from this app, one-sixth of our children are saying they’re constantly on this app, if you consider that there’s 150 million people every single day that are obviously touching this app, this provides a foreign nation a platform for information operations, a platform for surveillance, and a concern we have with regards to who controls that data.”
The House passed [H.R. 7521], the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, with overwhelming bipartisan support. The bill is designed to protect Americans by preventing foreign adversaries, such as China, from targeting, surveilling, and manipulating the American people through online applications like TikTok.
The threat is clear and you can help.
