‘Enormous Threat': Dem Senator Echoes Trump's Warning About CCP-Linked TikTok

2022-11-21

[Daily Caller] Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia said Sunday that former President Donald Trump correctly labeled TikTok as an "enormous threat."

Trump ordered a review of the Chinese-owned app, which is beholden to the Chinese Community Party (CCP), in July 2020 after the Trump administration declared ZTE and Huawei national-security threats. Employees of TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, are required to attend monthly meetings where they are required to study the party’s policies, CNN reported in 2018.

"I think Donald Trump was right. I mean, TikTok is an enormous threat. It’s a threat on two levels, one, it is a massive collector of information, oftentimes of our children," Warner, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream. "They can visualize even down to your keystrokes. So, if you are a parent and have 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."

#1 Sounds like Warner's latest check from China bounced.
