The debate over TikTok's future in the United States intensifies amidst allegations of it being a national security threat. Critics argue that the proposed sale or ban of TikTok stems from a broader climate of paranoia towards China, labeling these actions as xenophobic. Despite bipartisan concerns, the U.S. government hasn't provided any concrete evidence to substantiate claims that TikTok has compromised U.S. security or collaborated with the Chinese government. U.S. intelligence officials, including the CIA, FBI, and Intel community, have described the threat posed by TikTok as purely hypothetical, acknowledging the lack of hard evidence linking the social media platform to any espionage activities.
US Intelligence admits TikTok's national security threat is purely “hypothetical,” says it has no evidence that the social media platform ever coordinated with the Chinese government. Follow: @AFpost https://t.co/g56J3iO7NF
BREAKING: U.S. Intelligence admits that TikTok's threat is purely “hypothetical” and has failed to provide any evidence that TikTok has ever coordinated with the Chinese government, according to a spokesperson at the FBI.
Hard evidence from the US gov that TikTok is actually being used as a Chinese spy tool is basically nonexistent https://t.co/0WwkBr2jtt
TikTok hysteria notwithstanding, the heads of the CIA, FBI and Intel community are careful to note that any threat to national security is purely hypothetical. There's no evidence that TikTok has ever coordinated with the Chinese government. https://t.co/IpaJ9xbSX0
U.S. intelligence says TikTok is a threat — but only in theory https://t.co/G3b3v6r0b1 by @kenklippenstein https://t.co/G3b3v6r0b1
To date, the U.S. government hasn't provided any evidence showing TikTok shared U.S. user data with Chinese authorities. https://t.co/qfZJgmS8wS
Nothing TikTok does will please the bipartisan coalition of xenophobes, because the ban proposal isn’t grounded in facts. There is zero evidence that TikTok has done anything to undermine the “security” of the US or has furthered the designs of the CCP. https://t.co/VBj7wC8thU
The TikTok sale/ban plainly comes out of a wider climate of paranoia about a supposed Chinese threat to the US. The idea being that because the Chinese are sinister and conniving, we simply don’t know what evil ends they will pursue. Pure xenophobia. https://t.co/VBj7wC7Vsm
