Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, voting present<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The House voted Wednesday to pass legislation that could ban TikTok in the U.S. as Republicans and Democrats alike sound the alarm that the popular video-sharing app, owned by a China-based company, is a national security threat.<\/p>\n<p>The vote was 352-65, with one member, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, voting present. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain fate and there appears to be less urgency to act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommunist China is America\u2019s largest geopolitical foe and is using technology to actively undermine America\u2019s economy and security,&#8221; Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said in a statement after the vote, warning that TikTok could be used to access American data and spread &#8220;harmful&#8221; information.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today\u2019s bipartisan vote demonstrates Congress\u2019 opposition to Communist China\u2019s attempts to spy on and manipulate Americans, and signals our resolve to deter our enemies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fifty Democrats and 15 Republicans voted against the bill. Among them were progressives like Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., a Senate candidate, as well as conservatives like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who lamented that she had previously been banned from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2024\/03\/08\/cleric-advises-muslims-to-temporarily-deactivate-social-media-accounts-for-ramadan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., was a surprising no vote. He also cited free speech issues with the bill.<\/p>\n<p>Adversaries like China &#8220;shut down newspapers, broadcast stations, and social media platforms. We do not,&#8221; Himes said in a statement. &#8220;We trust our citizens to be worthy of their democracy. We do not trust our government to decide what information they may or may not see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>TikTok, owned by China-based parent company ByteDance, has mounted an aggressive lobbying campaign to kill the legislation, arguing that it would violate the First Amendment rights of its 170 million U.S. users and harm thousands of small businesses that rely on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will be destroying small businesses like us; this is our livelihood. We\u2019ve created success,\u201d Paul Tran, who, with his wife, has a skin care company called Love and Pebble, said at a pro-TikTok rally outside the Capitol on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>He said their business nearly shut down last year until TikTok Shop came along and \u201ctotally exploded our business.\u201d Now 90% of their business comes from the app, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you pass this bill,\u201d Tran said, \u201cyou will be destroying the American Dream that we really believe in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The vote was 352-65, with one member, Rep.
