On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) called for a ban on TikTok and argued that one reason the app should be banned is that the application exposes minors to “stuff that they would never let Chinese teenagers see,” in addition to the privacy risks and the country’s ability to be used by the Chinese Communist Party to influence Americans.
Cotton said TikTok “shouldn’t be present in the United States, Laura. There [are] a lot of things that you just pointed out there that are bad about TikTok, the way they expose minors to violent, depraved, degrading sexual material or young girls to videos about body image issues, stuff that they would never let Chinese teenagers see, or the risk to your data security and your privacy.
