Michael F. Bennet, a Colorado Democrat Senator, called out Apple and Google to ban TikTok from their app stores. According to him, the Chinese application is a threat to national security.
“Chinese Communist Party dictates should have the power to accumulate such extensive data on the American people or curate content to nearly a third of our population,” he wrote in a letter.
Bennet is a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. With this letter, he adds bipartisan pressure on the matter by asking US companies to ban the Chinese app from the stores.
