Advancing American Freedom issued the following statement ahead of the markup of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which would effectively force ByteDance to sell TikTok if they want to stay in the U.S. market.
“TikTok has been banned on all US government devices because it is a national security threat and acts as the puppet strings of Communist China to push their propaganda on the American people, and it cannot be allowed to continue to operate in our country unchecked,” said AAF Founder Vice President Pence. “The tensions with Communist China continue to mount and the United States must take the necessary steps to protect our country. This legislation is one of those necessary steps, and Advancing American Freedom urges Congress to move this legislation quickly through the markup process and bring it to the House floor for a vote.”
