TikTok TikTok Sen. Josh Hawley introducing legislation to ban TikTok

[Guest Jason Brey]

"What my bill does is it specifically goes after TikTok — it bans it. It doesn’t ban any other app, but it also requires a comprehensive report to Congress on the national security threat" the app poses and its relationship to the Chinese Communist Party, Hawley told reporters on Capitol Hill. "But listen, I welcome all efforts to ban TikTok, of whatever form it takes."

 

TikTok Admits It Spied on US Journalists as App Faces Potential Ban

The scandal could not have come at a worse time for TikTok.

TikTok is a scourge on society. It provides the communist Chinese government a backdoor into the United States. It is a classic Trojan horse. TikTok's parent company has already admitted they were using the app to spy on American journalists.

The question is, why are people insisting this isn't a problem? China bans Facebook and google, and we allow this horrific app to infiltrate and jeopardize our national security.

I get the concerns about TikTok, but an outright ban? That seems a bit extreme. I enjoy the platform for its creativity, and yeah, the spying issue is unsettling. Still, I am pretty popular there (because I buy shares in TikTok) and have never experienced issues. Maybe stricter regulations would be a better route than a total shutdown.
