The Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, fully supports the TikTok ban winding its way through the Congress. Isn’t telling people what media they can and can’t use what communist countries do?
“For years, we’ve stood by and watched as ByteDance, a Chinese-owned company, has collected the personal data of American citizens without any real consequences,” Jake Denton, research associate in The Heritage Foundation’s Tech Policy Center, told The Daily Signal in a written statement. “They’ve been allowed to gather sensitive information like our browsing history, our location, and even our biometric identifiers, all while maintaining close ties to the Chinese Communist Party”
But when the U.S. government does these things to Americans without any real consequences, the Heritage Foundation is silent.
