Biden Campaign Cavorting With The Enemy
Oh, look who just joined TikTok, the social media platform that enables China to spy on users.
It was just a little more than a year ago that President Biden banned all of the federal government’s 4 million employees from installing TikTok on phones owned by their agencies. On top of that, 34 states also prohibit their state employees from downloading the spyware on government devices.
The head of the FBI says the bureau has "national security concerns" about the U.S. operations of TikTok, warning that the Chinese government could potentially use the popular video-sharing app to influence American users or control their devices.
The FBI has "a number of concerns," director Christopher Wray told a House Homeland Security Committee hearing about worldwide threats on Tuesday, just days after Republican lawmakers introduced a bill that would ban the app nationwide.
"They include the possibility that the Chinese government could use it to control data collection on millions of users or control the recommendation algorithm, which could be used for influence operations if they so chose, or to control software on millions of devices, which gives it an opportunity to potentially technically compromise personal devices," Wray said.
So why has the Biden campaign joined TikTok and used it to record a silly girly Q and A with the aging president?
Presumably to make an out-of-touch Biden seem hip and relatable.
One Democrat is not amused: Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner.
"I think that we still need to find a way to follow India which has prohibited TikTok," Warner said on the sidelines of an event. "I'm a little worried about a mixed message.”
Mixed message?
How about more reckless behavior from a feckless president?
