DENVER — Colorado Congressman Ken Buck wants to ban TikTok from all devices in the U.S, saying the Chinese-owned social media app poses national security risks. But Justin Whitehead, founder and CEO of Dever-based cybersecurity firm, Digital Silence, says the issue of security goes much deeper than banning just one app.
All social media apps are accessing your information, according to Whitehead, so the main issue really comes down to data security. Buck’s bill would also ban any commercial activity with TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance. Buck said he's proud to introduce this legislation to ensure that"every American’s privacy and security is protected from hostile foreign entities."
Whitehead believes there should be regulations in place, either at the national or state level, but doesn't see that happening anytime soon.
