Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., called out the Biden-Harris campaign for joining TikTok on Super Bowl Sunday, after the administration signed legislation banning the app from most federal devices in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u2018Hey by the way, we just joined TikTok,\u2019 the campaign\u2019s post on X read on Sunday, with the campaign\u2019s first TikTok video of the president answering quizzes about the Super Bowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Biden campaign bragging about using a Chinese spy app even though Biden signed a law banning it on all federal devices,\u2019 Hawley wrote on X in response to the campaign\u2019s post.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration set a 30-day deadline in late February 2023 for government agencies to purge the app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, from federal devices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Several Republicans have urged Congress to ban the app in the U.S. entirely because of reports the app steals Americans\u2019 data and poses a national security threat. In 2017, China began enforcing a law mandating companies to provide the government with any personal data pertinent to the regime\u2019s national security.<\/p>\n

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has also called for a nationwide ban on TikTok, saying last month that the CEO is \u2018lying\u2019 about the app being safe for users.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We should ban it,\u2019 Hawley previously told Fox News\u2019 Sean Hannity. \u2018It tracks everything you do on your phone. It tracks everywhere you go, every text message you send, every email you write, and it\u2019s \u2014 all that information \u2014 all of it\u2019s available to the Chinese Communist Party.\u2018<\/p>\n

Cotton appeared to weigh in Monday on the Biden campaign joining TikTok, writing, \u2018Just like TikTok, Temu or any Chinese tech company must allow the Communist Party unfettered access to its data. This should be a non-starter for doing business in the United States.\u2019<\/p>\n

The app is vastly popular among young voters, and Biden\u2019s campaign team will be running the president\u2019s account. The campaign also has a presence on other social media platforms, including X, Instagram, Meta\u2019s Threads and former President Trump\u2019s Truth Social.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The FBI and the Federal Communications Commission have both reportedly cautioned that ByteDance may potentially share user data \u2014 including browsing history, location information, and biometric identifiers such as fingerprints, facial features, iris patterns, voice prints \u2014 with the Chinese Communist Party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a government agency that reviews national security implications of foreign investments in the U.S. has been investigating TikTok since 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Biden-Harris campaign said they will be posting content regularly on all platforms, including TikTok.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We are taking advanced safety precautions around our devices and incorporating a sophisticated security protocol to ensure security. The campaign\u2019s presence is independent and apart from the ongoing CFIUS review,\u2019 a campaign adviser said in an email. \u2018The campaign will continue meeting voters where they are, innovating to create content that will resonate with critical audiences and the core constituencies that make up the president\u2019s diverse and broad coalition of voters.\u2019<\/p>\n\n
