Republicans call for TikTok ban in House, Senate
A group of Republicans are calling on House and Senate leaders to bar lawmakers from using TikTok amid a raging the debate over whether to ban the social media platform at the federal level.
“We urge you to amend the House and Senate rules to bar members of Congress from continued use of TikTok and take any other appropriate measures to mitigate the risks of this de-facto, spyware app,” a group of GOP lawmakers, led by Sen. Thom Tillis (N.C.) and Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Texas), said in a letter Monday to rules and administration leaders in both chambers.
The letter, which was first reported by Politico, was signed by two other GOP senators and 13 other House members. It cites security concerns over the video-based social media platform, which is owned by a Chinese parent company.
“It is clear from the testimony and comments from TikTok CEO, Shou Zi Chew, that all members of Congress must lead by example and immediately stop using the platform for official communications,” the lawmakers said in the letter. “Even after the March 23, 2023, hearing, in which it became blatantly clear to the public that the China-based app is mining data and potentially spying on American citizens, members of Congress continue to utilize the app to communicate with their constituents.”
