Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) warned of the danger of TikTok’s current ownership structure after a supporter of the Chinese-owned video-sharing app left a voicemail threatening to “shoot” him.
In a March 20 post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr. Tillis shared a 27-second voicemail that his office had received a day earlier. The unidentified female caller—who the congressman alleged was apparently influenced by TikTok’s misinformation campaign—was upset about how the app could be banned.
