Legislation effectively banning TikTok is rocketing through Congress. The bill contains broad provisions that not only ban TikTok or any other app or platform related to its Chinese, parent IT company, ByteDance, but it allows the President the power to ban any other app or platform owned, even in part, by a so-called “foreign adversary” if it is deemed to be a national security threat. While there are genuine concerns about data security of all online apps and platforms, this legislation puts us on a slippery slope to more authoritarian control over communication on the internet, and whatever you think of TikTok’s danger to US interests, this bill should be opposed given its powers are likely to curb our access to less censored, free speech platforms.
Write to Congress and tell them to oppose the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.
