A key witness during a congressional hearing warned that TikTok poses an imminent threat to American children and U.S. national security.
The dire warning came from Dr. Allison Stanger, a professor of International Politics and Economics at Middlebury College. She testified on Wednesday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Communications and Technology Subcommittee on the extent of the TikTok threat.
“I very much support and applaud legislation to end TikTok’s operations in the United States. The national security implications are extraordinary,” Stanger said, responding to a question from Rep. Bob Latta, the subcommittee chairman, about the security threat of some Big Tech platforms.
