Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) criticized a reported preliminary agreement between the Biden administration and TikTok that would avoid major changes to the popular video-sharing app’s Chinese ownership.
“Any ‘agreement’ with TikTok absent full divestment from ByteDance and the Chinese Communist Party is a bad deal—both for U.S. national security and for the millions of Americans whose private data will remain accessible to Beijing, per Chinese law,” Rubio told The Epoch Times in an email.
