Top Democrat: ‘Trump Was Right’ About TikTok, Parents Must Get Kids off App

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) praised former President Donald Trump on Sunday for recognizing the threat posed by TikTok, warning that parents should be “very concerned” about their children using the app.

Warner issued the warning during a Fox News Sunday appearance after being asked about the Beijing-owned social media giant, which has become a national security concern over its ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Trump ordered ByteDance, TikTok’s China-based parent company, to divest from the platform’s US operations or see the app banned nationwide in mid-2020. The Biden administration is trying to reach a security agreement with ByteDance to avoid such a ban, but bipartisan fear has grown that TikTok cannot be truly separated from its country of origin.

“Well, I think Donald Trump was right. I mean, TikTok is an enormous threat,” Warner told host Shannon Bream. “It’s a threat on two levels.”

One problem, the Senate Intel chief warned, is that TikTok is “a massive collector of information, oftentimes of our children. They can visualize even down to your keystrokes. So, if you’re a parent and you got a kid on TikTok, I would be very, very concerned. All of that data that your child is inputting and receiving is being stored somewhere in Beijing.
