Time to ban TikTok: Letters to the Editor — March 16, 2024

The Issue: The House passing a bill that would ban TikTok if China-based owner doesn’t sell its stake.
The House of Representatives has taken the big first step in banning TikTok — or forcing ByteDance to sell its stake (“House socks TikTok,” March 14).
The bipartisan legislation was authored by Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Republican from Wisconsin. We shall see where it goes from here, but for now there are some lingering questions.
First, who were the 65 reps who voted against the bill? There is nothing more important than our national security.
Why Sen. Chuck Schumer is unsure if he will bring the bill to a vote is also strange, but I’m sure there is a political reason. President Biden has said he would sign the bill if it got passed through the Senate. We need to get this bill signed into law to curb China’s influence.
