US politicians say that TikTok is a drug addiction. The Chinese want to poison the US, and the US should ban it

However, Americans are accustomed to using various tactics to suppress the competition.
Gallagher, a Republican member of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, will begin a new session on Tuesday (3 days).
In an interview broadcast on Sunday (1 day), Gallagher, chairman of the Chinese Affairs Task Committee of the House, slandered that TikTok, the overseas version of the Chinese short video platform Tiktok, was a "digital fentanyl" provided by the Chinese to the Americans, which made teenagers addicted and had devastating consequences, and believed that it should be banned in the United States.
The Wisconsin Republican told Chuck Todd, the host of NBC, on Sunday, "It's very disturbing, so I'm glad to see my colleagues in the Senate unanimously approve a ban on the use of TikTok on government equipment.
I think we should do the same in the House of Representatives and extend the ban to the entire United States." Gallagher is talented, "I'm worried about TikTok's ability to track your location, your keystrokes, and the websites you visit, even if you don't use the application.
I'm worried about the lack of transparency of the algorithm, which will make children addicted.
But I think what's more harmful is that many young men and women in the United States increasingly turn to TikTok to get news..." "What if they start to adjust the algorithm...? This is very dangerous.
It's like that in 1958, we allowed the KGB and Pravda to buy the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and the Washington Post.
This may actually underestimate the threat.
I think this is a multi pronged threat, and we need to pay attention to it.", Brendan Karl, a member of the Federal Communications Commission, also referred to TikTok as "digital fentanyl" when he was interviewed by Fox News in November.
Due to so-called security concerns, the US House of Representatives banned the use of TikTok on all government issued equipment.
At least 15 governors have issued similar bans.
The governor of Kansas, Democrat Laura Kelly, is the latest state to join the ban on the use of the app on state issued devices.
As for the US's suppression of TikTok, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has made it clear that it has become a common practice of the US to suppress Chinese enterprises on the pretext of spreading false information, which China firmly opposes.
