Top Democrat on House Foreign Affairs Committee opposes Republican bill giving Biden power to ban TikTok
The top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee said on Tuesday he opposed a Republican bill that would give President Joe Biden the power to ban Chinese-owned social media app TikTok and other apps.
Representative Gregory Meeks said he strongly opposed the legislation, saying it would “damage our allegiances across the globe, bring more companies into China’s sphere, destroy jobs here in the United States and undercut core American values of free speech and free enterprise.” The U.S. government’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States , a powerful national security body, in 2020 unanimously recommended that ByteDance divest TikTok because of fears that user data could be passed onto China’s government. TikTok and CFIUS have been negotiating for more than two years on data security requirements.
