The TikTok Debate: Ban, Sale, or Regulation?

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew's testimony before Congress has increased the likelihood of Congress taking action against the app due to concerns over data privacy and Chinese government intrusion. Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher and Democrat Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi have co-sponsored legislation to either ban the app or force its sale to an American firm. The lawmakers are skeptical of TikTok's "Project Texas" and its ability to prevent access by Beijing. Additionally, Gallagher and Krishnamoorthi discussed the recent strikes on U.S. bases in Syria and the need for a clear-eyed view of the Iranian regime.
