House Committee on Energy and Commerce hear from Tik Tok CEO

Tik Tok CEO Shou Chew testified under oath before Congress for the first time in a House Energy & Commerce Committee hearing. I had the opportunity to directly question Chew about the major national and personal data security concerns I have with his app. 

During the hearing, I got CEO to admit under oath that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can manipulate the content on TikTok. This means the CCP controls what information is being shared with the millions of Americans who use the app.

From a national security standpoint, I have incredible concerns with the CCP moderating information to promote their social or political agenda to nearly half of the population of the United States.

Thankfully, there was a bipartisan consensus in our committee that TikTok is a major security threat, and we are working together to safeguard American data and protect our children from harm online.
