Representatives Jamaal Bowman, Mark Pocan, and Robert Garcia and TikTok creators call for broad-based privacy legislation that would address all large social media.
WASHINGTON, DC, USA – TikTok creators and three US Democratic Party lawmakers on Wednesday, March 22, said they opposed any potential ban on the Chinese-owned short video sharing app that is used by more than 150 million Americans.before the US House Energy and Commerce Committee amid growing calls for a ban over national security concerns at a time when relations between Beijing and Washington have deteriorated.
“Why the hysteria and the panic and the targeting of TikTok?” Bowman asked. “Let’s do the right thing here – comprehensive social media reform as it relates to privacy and security.” TikTok creator Jason Linton uses TikTok to share videos of his three adopted children in Oklahoma and has interacted with people around the world.
Pocan said a “xenophobic witch hunt” is motivating some in Congress to seek a TikTok ban. “Banning TikTok isn’t the answer. Making sure Americans data is safe is,” he said.
