"TikTok is from China. Any company that’s in China, over 50 percent of it is owned by the Chinese Communist Party," Nunes said. "So, If you want your data, your kids' data, all of that information to end up in the hands of the Chinese..."
Trump announced on Friday that he plans to ban the social media platform from the United States. A ban would further pressure TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell the app’s U.S. operations amid national security concerns about users' personal data. Microsoft is a leading contender to buy.
TikTok has become wildly popular with millions of Americans in the last few years, especially teenagers, who use it to make short videos.
The app grants the Chinese government access to the personal data of U.S. users, Nunes said, warning that the information could be utilized by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) "to run a propaganda operation into this year’s election. "
