Republican Congresswoman Nicole Malia Takis recently expressed concerns about the popular social media app TikTok, citing national security issues and potential influence from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Takis highlighted that the CCP controls ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, and may be using the app to manipulate and indoctrinate young users.
Takis emphasized that TikTok has been prohibited on government devices due to security risks, including data theft and geolocation tracking of users. She mentioned that the app has been linked to nefarious activities, such as drug cartel operations and human smuggling.
