The letter reflects the latest escalation by US lawmakers as they scrutinize TikTok’s potential impact on national security. And it foreshadows how House Republicans, having gained a majority in the midterms, are likely to approach TikTok in coming months.

House Republicans say TikTok may have misled congressional staff in private briefings about the company’s handling of US user data, in a new letter to the short-form video app this week. The letter dated Tuesday and addressed to TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew reflects the latest escalation by US lawmakers as they scrutinize TikTok’s potential impact on national security.

“One immediate next step is to pass the American Data Privacy and Protection Act this Congress, which would require companies like TikTok to alert users if their personal information is being stored or accessed in countries like China—and give people the option to stop that information from being shared.” Copies of the letter were also sent to the committees’ Democratic chairs, but those lawmakers, Reps. Carolyn Maloney and Frank Pallone, did not sign the letter.
