Lawmakers leading a House panel on China are telling TikTok to stop its campaign to have users lobby Congress against measures meant to rid the app of its influence from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
In a letter to the Chinese-owned video-sharing platform, the chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP, Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), and the committee’s ranking member, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), said TikTok has been “spreading false claims in its campaign to manipulate and mobilize American citizens on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party” as it faces congressional scrutiny.
