Alaska’s U.S. senators signaled support for legislative action to address what they said were ties between TikTok and Chinese leadership.
U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola after her address to a joint session of the Alaska legislature at the Alaska State Capitol in Juneau on February 26, 2024.
Former President Donald Trump has said he opposes the measure, in a reversal from his last year in office, when he sought to ban the social media platform. “I am strongly inclined to support legislative action,” Sullivan said in a prepared statement, calling for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to bring the bill to a floor vote. TikTok is a “serious example of the national security threat to America” posed by the Chinese Community Party, Sullivan said.Murkowski said she has “very real concerns” about the privacy of users, the platform’s implication for national security, and its ability to be used to spread misinformation.
Republican U.S. House candidate Nick Begich — who is running against Peltola this year after losing to her twice in 2022 — signaled his support for the measure and said it could “end up being a bill to save TikTok” by forcing the U.S. operation to divest of its Chinese owners.
