.SenMarcoRubio & SenJoniErnst introduced the 'No Funds for Enablers of Adversarial Propaganda Act' The new legislation would deny federal funding for those engaged in business with TikTok, a Chinese-owned social media platform.

The No Funds for Enablers of Adversarial Propaganda Act would prohibit federal funding for people and entities that have an agreement, partnership, or advertisement with social media companies associated with foreign adversaries — which include China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.“Chinese-owned TikTok is a threat, but some entities, including our nation’s airports, are still willing to accept advertising dollars from the company,” said Rubio in a statement.

The app’s ties to the Chinese government continue to raise concerns from U.S. government officials who say TikTok could weaponize its collection of user data. FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee last week that the app could be used to spread misinformation. The Biden administration has threatened to ban TikTok from the United States unless its Chinese owners agree to sell their stakes in the company. Earlier in the year, the White House mandated all federal agencies to remove TikTok from government-issued devices due to national security concerns. TikTok and the Biden administration have been negotiating for more than two years on data security requirements, but some lawmakers are getting impatient.
