Great article from Internet Accountability Project (IAP)!

“By supporting both the TikTok sale and OAMA, we can head to a future where the power of tech oligarchs is balanced by the interests and rights of the individuals they serve.”

BREAKING: The Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Applications Act — to divest TikTok from CCP control — is included in the 21st Century Peace Through Strength Act.

Speaker Mike Johnson’s supplemental is vital to defending U.S. national security against our adversaries.

It is even more unfortunate that TikTok US decided to use kids to call Hill offices with threats of suicide and the assassination of congressional members and the President all to continue its espionage campaign on behalf of the CCP. Spare me!

It is a terrible deal for Americans to keep TikTok in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.

That's why Speaker Mike Johnson made sure the 21st Century Peace Through Strength Act includes our bill to strip CCP control from TikTok US.

There's been a lot of discussion of concerns of Chinese products both hardware and software that are vulnerable entry points to US consumers data. Joel Thayer has a great blog on it: joellthayer.medium.com/why-are-walmar…

The Chinese Communist Party is not your friend.

They have and will continue to abuse their control over TikTok US.

We must cut off their malign influence from ruining an application that Americans have come to know and enjoy.

It is very good to see this bill teed up to move.

It definitely resolves the serious threat that CCP control of TikTok—and in turn the CCP’s illicit access to troves of sensitive U.S. business and user data—poses to America’s national security.

The CCP made a bet that it could control TikTok-use it to surveil Americans, sweep up troves of sensitive data for Beijing, & openly advance the CCP's malign goals-and the U.S. wouldn't have the resolve to protect our national security.

Congress is poised to prove the CCP wrong

Cantwell statement on the House’s updated TikTok bill giving the company up to a year to find a new buyer (rather than 6 months in the one the House passed last month.)

So TikTok Policy is gonna hide behind the wars in Ukraine and Israel to cloak its own anti-American activities?

Shameful.

And it’s just gonna completely ignore today’s POLITICO bombshell that the PRC embassy lobbied Congress against H.R.7521?

Cowardly.

WATCH: Former AG Barr discusses the CCP’s strategy to proliferate the U.S. with deadly fentanyl.

“The Chinese and the Mexicans give us happy talk. They’re not cooperating. They’re both complicit in the trafficking.

We have to start getting much tougher with them.”

‘embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said that the “Chinese Embassy in the US tries to tell the truth about the TikTok issue…This is not about lobbying for a single company…but about whether all Chinese companies can be treated fairly.”’

An unusual level of interest and advocacy by the Chinese Communist Party on behalf of what is ostensibly not a Chinese company.

Every day a new story breaks about the ties between TikTok and the Chinese Communist Party.

Only a nitwit would read this story and conclude 'TikTok is fine, there is nothing to see here.'
