Congressman Raja on CNN

Earlier, Congressman Raja joined Fredricka Whitfield on CNN to discuss the security risks that the popular social media app, TikTok, poses to Americans. The Congressman explained to Fredricka that because TikTok is owned by a Chinese company that is required to follow Chinese Communist Party intelligence laws, “the CCP ultimately controls the content on TikTok.” When asked what legislation he supports that would protect Americans’ user data and security, the Congressman told her, “I support my own bill which is the only bicameral, bipartisan bill in Congress. Basically what it would do is very simple: either a social media app, such as TikTok, controlled by an adversarial regime—in this case the Chinese Communist Party—should not be allowed to operate, or it should be forced to sell its assets to an American company that would control the user data and algorithms that provide the content for more than 100 million Americans.”
