Joe Biden implemented a new executive order putting an end to Trump’s effort to ring TikTok and WeChat, based on The Western Journal.
The executive three Trump orders including”Addressing the Threat Posed by TikTok, and Taking Additional Steps To Address the National Emergency With Respect to the Information and Communications Technology and Services Supply Chain.”
The NYT said it is”the first significant step Mr. Biden has taken to address a challenge left for him by President Donald J. Trump, whose administration fought to ban TikTok and force its Chinese-owned parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app.”
“Legal challenges immediately followed and the app is still available as the battle languishes in the courts.”
A White House report stated that the Biden Administration”is committed to promoting an open, interoperable, reliable and secure Internet; protecting human rights online and offline; and supporting a vibrant, global digital economy.”
“Certain countries, including the People’s Republic of China (PRC), do not share these values and seek to leverage digital technologies and Americans’ data in a way that pose unacceptable national security risks while progressing authoritarian controls and pursuits.”
The executive order placed by the Biden Administration is an attempt to”take strong actions to protect Americans’ sensitive data” and to”provide criteria for identifying software applications that may pose unacceptable risk.”
Mike Pompeo said, “Well, here’s what I hope that the American people will come to recognize.”
“These Chinese software companies doing business in the United States, whether it’s TikTok or WeChat — there are countless more — as [White House trade adviser] Peter Navarro said, are feeding data directly to the Chinese Communist Party, their national security apparatus.”
“Could be their facial recognition patterns. It could be information about their residence, their phone numbers, their friends, who they’re connected to.”
“Those are the issues that President Trump has made clear we’re going to take care of.”
Pompeo stated American should download Tik Tok”if you want your private information in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.”
“Images obtained by Fox News shows the ads cartels are using on social media apps like TikTok, where they offer more than $3,000 a ride for teens and young adults to come drive smuggled migrants into the U.S. when they reach the border.”
