On a note of concern, Sen. Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, pointed out the inconsistency of the Biden-Harris campaign establishing a presence on TikTok during Super Bowl Sunday. This occurred despite the fact that the prevailing administration had already endorsed a bill that forbade the use of the culturally pervasive app on most governmental devices within the year 2022.

With a touch of incredulity, Hawley posed the situation on social media: the notable campaign of Biden vaunting their use of a platform that is widely suspected to serve as a nexus for Chinese espionage operations, despite the president's own signature prohibiting it on federal equipment.

Heading into the last stanza of February 2023, the Biden administration stipulated a period of one month for administrative bodies to exterminate the ByteDance-owned application from all government-associated devices. A few more emphatic Republicans have proposed that Congress implement a blanket ban on the operation of the app within our nation's borders, citing troubling reports that it siphons off the personal data of Americans and, hence, puts the country's security stability in jeopardy.

The skeptics had good reason to worry. We need not look further than 2017, when the Chinese authorities implemented a law that required its corporate entities to hand over to its government any individual information that bears pertinence to the interests of the nation's security.
