SECRETARY POMPEO TO BAN TIKTOK?
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explained in a Fox News interview that the U.S. government may consider a ban on Chinese social media such as popular video/meme sharing app TikTok.” This follows similar action by India, which reportedly banned no less than 59 Chinese apps.
Pompeo declared in a Fox News interview that the viral video sharing app TikTok is no laughing matter for American security. “We are taking this very seriously,” he vowed, according to The Verge. When FNC’s Ingraham Angle host Laura Ingraham asked whether Pompeo believes Americans should download the controversial app, Pompeo replied, “Only if you want your private information in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.” . . .
A TikTok spokesperson reportedly responded to Pompeo’s condemnation by writing, “We have no higher priority than promoting a safe and secure app experience for our users,” and that “We have never provided user data to the Chinese government, nor would we do so if asked.” . . .
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) declared after a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on big tech’s connections to China that “TikTok is scooping up immense amounts of data and they are sharing it with Beijing; they are required to.”
Even Silicon Valley elites have spurned it as foreign spyware. Reddit CEO and co-founder Steve Huffman blasted TikTok during a discussion panel at the “Social 2030” venture capital conference last February, declaring the app “fundamentally parasitic.” He allegedly warned people, “Don’t install that spyware on your phone.”. . .
Liberal youth on social media allegedly sent out calls to action for people to serve seats at the upcoming rally in order to deny access to actual supporters, decreasing actual turnout. “[T]he idea to troll President Donald Trump with false ticket reservations to Saturday’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma came from TikTok,” NBC News reported.
The Verge commented that America is not the only country to grow wary of TikTok’s ties to the Chinese government . . .

Sec. Pompeo – please do take the positive position and actions needed to ban TikTok immediately. Thank you for helping to protect our republic from those who seek to destroy us through insidious and hidden means.
Yes, it should be banned. The word treason needs to come back into the American vocabulary. May God have mercy and protect us from the enemies who desire to attack and destroy us.
