.@POTUS joining TikTok is completely irresponsible and runs counter to his policy banning the app from government devices. We must continue to raise the alarm on TikTok’s #CCP ties. It is a threat to our national security.

.@POTUS joining an app controlled by the CCP—one that has a track record for surveilling and manipulating Americans—sends a dangerous signal. Rather than putting politics over national security, he should heed the bipartisan calls from Congress and work with us to ban TikTok.
