U.S. intelligence agencies have raised concerns that China could use the social media platform TikTok to influence the 2024 U.S. elections, according to statements made by the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, during a House of Representatives intelligence committee hearing on 2024-03-12. Haines highlighted that TikTok accounts run by the Chinese government targeted candidates from both political parties during the U.S. midterm election cycle in 2022. The intelligence community's annual threat assessment, published on 2024-03-13, also explicitly mentioned TikTok, indicating China's potential to leverage the platform for global covert influence operations to support the Chinese Communist Party. Furthermore, the U.S. House of Representatives is considering a bill that would require ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese owner, to sell the part of its business within about six months.
