Congressman Flood Votes to Stop TikTok Propaganda

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood issued a statement following a vote on H.R. 7521 also known as the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. 

“TikTok is the Chinese Communist Party’s favorite social media app for Americans,” said Rep. Flood. “It has been used as a tool of propaganda in our country and this narrowly tailored bill will help put an end to that. The legislation requires TikTok’s parent company to divest from their American division or to face an outright ban in the United States. Today’s vote was an overwhelming bipartisan show of force sending a message: America will not allow our foreign adversaries to use our country’s free marketplace to undermine our love for liberty.”

Nebraska was the first state in the nation to institute a state ban on TikTok on government devices in August 2020. Congressman Flood has been a vocal supporter of banning TikTok, authoring an editorial at FoxNews.com late last year. The editorial can be found here.
