A small yet growing coalition of Democrats has come out in support of TikTok. RepAOC, RepBowman, and Rep Ilhan have spoken out against proposed restrictions on the app that the White House and many Republicans have backed in recent weeks.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Jamaal Bowman , and Ilhan Omar have spoken out against proposed restrictions on TikTok that the White House and many Republicans have backed in recent weeks.
Ocasio-Cortez posted her first TikTok on Saturday, arguing that banning TikTok does not address"the core of the issue." She pushed for Congress to pass legislation protecting Americans from"this kind of egregious data harvesting" that TikTok and other social media companies engaged in. "The idea that, 'Oh, TikTok is the boogeyman' — it's just part of a political fearmongering that's happening," he added.
