The leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee warned of the threat posed by TikTok amid a new push to target the app in Congress.
Washington — Sens. Mark Warner and Marco Rubio, who sit atop the Senate Intelligence Committee, warned Sunday of the threat posed by TikTok, a social media app owned by a China-based company that's become widely popular among young people in the U.S.'We might have slightly different ways on how we go at this, but we think this is a national security issue,' Warner, a Virginia Democrat, said of himself and Rubio on 'Face the Nation.
Warner noted that since a large portion of American young people use TikTok as a news source, and because the app collects data that could be available to the Chinese Communist Party, it poses a serious threat, and perhaps 'the most powerful propaganda tool ever.''If you don't think the Chinese Communist Party can twist that algorithm to make it the news that they see reflective of their views, then I don't think you appreciate the nature of the threat,' Warner said.
