This weekend, Senators Tom Cotton (R-VA) and Mark Warner (D-VA) were on Sunday talk shows. They both had the same message: Get your children off TikTok.
Warner actually said something that must have been very difficult for him. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Warner said, "Well, I think Donald Trump was right. TikTok is an enormous threat."
You'll recall that Trump took steps to ban TikTok from the country. He was roundly attacked for the move. And, of course, Joe Biden repealed Trump's order.
But both Senators Cotton and Warner made it absolutely clear that TikTok is the largest surveillance program in history. Communist China is monitoring our children and collecting voluminous information about them.
"All of that data that your child is inputting and receiving is being stored somewhere in Beijing," Sen. Warner said.
Sen. Cotton warned, "It's not just the contents you upload to TikTok but all the data on your phone and other apps, all your personal information, even facial imagery, even where your eyes are looking on your phone."
TikTok is collecting everything on your child's phone. . . everything. Their contacts, health records, and financial information — all of it is being swept up by Chinese communists and stored in data centers controlled by the greatest enemy of the United States.
By the way, an article was published last week asking if TikTok, a communist Chinese app, tilted the midterm elections against the GOP. It notes that "TikTok's algorithm decides what each user will see next," and it warns that more and more young Americans are getting their news from TikTok, with 40% of them even preferring it as a search engine over Google.
You may not be able to do anything about your adult children, but you can take a stand as a parent and not allow your teenagers to get on TikTok!
