Cathy McMorris Rodgers: “This tradeoff is why we are here today.”

TikTok has repeatedly been caught lying about its connection to ByteDance as well as the level of access the CCP has to our data.

This bill sets forth a process to incentivize the divesture of TikTok and other applications from the operation and control of foreign adversary governments.

TikTok's access to 170 million American users makes it a valuable propaganda tool for the CCP to exploit and use for nefarious purposes.

I firmly believe that we must do what we can now to safeguard Americans' personal data while we work to advance privacy legislation.
