The congresswoman’s video, published to her aocinthehouse account on Saturday, comes as the Biden administration has issued guidance to prevent or remove TikTok from government devices.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, said in her first video on TikTok that she did not support a nationwide ban of the app and called such a move unprecedented.
Some critics of TikTok, including Heritage Foundation research associate Jake Denton, questioned how the China-founded app secured the congresswoman’s support. U.S. policymakers have concerns that the Chinese government may have access to Americans’ data via TikTok and ByteDance, as China’s policies of civil-military fusion compel businesses to work with the country’s communist government.
Other Democrats view banning TikTok differently. Some House Democrats expressed greater concern about TikTok, after CEO Shou Zi Chew’s testimony to the House Energy and Commerce Committee last week.
