he United States House of Representatives voted in a bipartisan effort to potentially ban the app tiktok in the United States if its Chinese owner ByteDance does not divest from the app. Representative Dusty Johnson spoke with Dakota News Now and explained why he felt the bill passed with such bipartisan support…
Johnson released the following statement after voting for the potential ban:
“TikTok has an important decision to make: remain beholden to the Chinese Communist Party, or retain their user base in America,” said Johnson. “The decision should be simple, yet TikTok’s pushback to the bill gives credence to the thought the platform cares more about the influence of the CCP than operating a safe app in the U.S. I hope the Senate considers the bill soon. In the meantime, millions of Americans will continue to be influenced by the destructive goals of the Chinese Communist Party.”
