Rep. Slotkin: ‘I don’t want the Chinese govt controlling’ data of ‘170 million Americans’ via TikTok

Published | Video Starts at 04:07

I'm someone who's a former CIA officer and Pentagon official. I don't want them having facial recognition information on everyone who's going to be in our military or in the intelligence community. I don't want them [Chinese government] to be able to send push messages of propaganda to vote or not vote, to 170 million users. If this was controlled by Sweden or controlled by a company in Palo Alto, then they'd be subject to the rules and regulations of the western world. (04:07–04:23)
