A new report suggests that TikTok is storing creator’s social security numbers and tax IDs on servers in China, where the country’s communist party has access. Congressman Mike McCaul, who represents Grimes County, says it’s time to outlaw the social media site here as a way to protect Americans.
McCaul, who heads House Foreign Affairs, has drafted a bill to ban TikTok. He’s now rallying support in the Senate. This comes as tensions between Washington and Beijing are flaring once again. President Biden referred to the Chinese President as a “dictator,” sparking a backlash.
