Republican congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who chairs the Congressional Energy and Commerce Committee, said this Sunday, the 26th, on CNN that the TikTok it is an “immediate threat” to US security.

"I would say there is an immediate threat through TikTok from the Chinese Communist Party. This is why I believe we need to ban TikTok immediately.

BUT: Meet the countries that have already restricted access to TikTok

It is worth remembering that the CEO of TikTok, Shou Zi Chew, was heard by the committee chaired by Cathy McMorris Rodgers last week, an audience that does not seem to have been in favor of the platform owned by the company ByteDance.

"What the hearing made clear to me is that TikTok must be banned in the US in order to deal with the immediate threat and that we also need a national data privacy law.", noted the deputy.
