Republican lawmakers suddenly have split opinions on the House bill that would prevent app stores from hosting Chinese company ByteDance's app TikTok.
on the bill passed unanimously out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and proclaimed his disapproval, various Congress members issued their own responses to his concern.
“But of course, TikTok had not changed its ways. As the WSJ found, TikTok just kept on sharing sensitive U.S. data with China,” Carr wrote. “Because TikTok is different than other social media companies. It is different because, as the evidence conclusively establishes, it is beholden to the CCP. Should the U.S. revise its privacy laws across the board? No objection from me. And acting on TikTok now provides an opportunity to build momentum towards that.
“The era of appeasing the Chinese Communist Party is over. Politicians claiming to be ‘tough on China’ while simultaneously supporting TikTok spewing CCP-sanctioned propaganda across the world are wrong,” Pence wrote. “China is poisoning the minds of American children. Enough is enough.”
