The TikTok Debate: National Security Threat or Unfair Targeting?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted her first video on TikTok, voicing her opposition to a nationwide ban on the Chinese-owned app despite concerns raised during a House hearing last week over national security risks and data privacy. AOC argued that the matter was more of a policy issue and that the US lacks significant data or privacy protection laws. She also questioned why Congress has not received a classified briefing on the allegations of national security risks regarding TikTok before proposing a ban.
