The Colorado Republican asserts that these videos are not a small part of the TikTok community either, noting that these videos have"amassed tens of millions of views on the app" and that"popular" hashtag #KiaBoys"curates criminal behavior for millions of impressionable teenagers." The hashtag alone boasts 27.5 million views.asked TikTok whether it was aware of this issue and what actions it has taken to address this content.
