Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov |
Regarding the TikTok bill: I'm still reviewing it. I have serious concerns about any app that gives the Chinese government access to Americans' private data. But I'll also say this: history teaches us that when lawmakers rush to legislate on tech and social media, mistakes get made.

Please consider that people who are here from China use it to stay connected with their family at home because other means are blocked off. I am uncomfortable with data brokers in general- not just from China, but domestically as well. They are effectively stalkers and need serious crackdowns.

They already have access. Maybe addressing the data brokers and the sale of our info by ALL these companies would be more effective.

To be fair, Senator, Congress hasn't exactly shown itself to be in a rush to legislate data privacy

It’s better to affirm personal data privacy that applies universally rather than playing whack-a-mole on an app by app basis. Going after TikTok today means we’ll be going after another app in a few months’ time.

Senator, with all due respect we are in far greater and more immediate danger from the likes of Facebook and Musk's Twitter

'Do Nothing' is the congressional way. Letting the Perfect be the enemy of the Good bill. Dems are dirty as R's on letting US companies decimate privacy while DOING NOTHING. Ask yourself why china bans ours.

What about companies that give the US government access to Americans’ private data?

I don't care if the Chinese government has my private data - all of the people positioned to take advantage of me are domestic! Instagram collects all of the same information that TikTok does, but THEY use it in a way that makes my life materially worse!
