The US House of Representatives recently passed a bill targeting TikTok, sparking a wave of criticism from various quarters. Former US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticized the bill, stating, "I think this [congressional] bill [on TikTok] fails across the board." Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Kibbe highlighted that the bill, while ostensibly aimed at banning TikTok, extends far beyond this, with Gabbard noting, "The details of this legislation they say is to ban TikTok in practice and in reality, it goes so much farther than just banning Tiktok, that they are trying to cover up." Rep. Ro Khanna voiced concerns that the bill "wouldn't actually protect Americans" as intended, suggesting that alternative legislation would be more effective in preventing foreign adversaries from accessing private information. Khanna's stance is that the bill misses the mark in addressing the core issue it purports to tackle.
