Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.<\/u><\/a>, will not say whether she\u2019s still using the Chinese social media platform TikTok amid national security concerns about the video-hosting service.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez mentioned in an Instagram Live video last year that she had an account on the social media platform but did not share her handle.<\/p>\n

TikTok has been denounced by lawmakers, experts and commentators as a national security threat due to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) use of the app to harvest data on users. Additionally, the potential for China to manipulate what Americans see \u2013 or don’t see \u2013 on TikTok has sparked concern that the CCP could use it for influence operations.<\/p>\n

MARYLAND BANNING USE OF TIKTOK IN STATE\u2019S EXECUTIVE BRANCH<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fox News Digital asked if the congresswoman still has and uses her account, but Ocasio-Cortez’s office did not answer.<\/p>\n

“I have a secret. I started a TikTok account. But I haven’t told anybody what it is. I’m just lurking, waiting for my moment,” Ocasio-Cortez said<\/a> during a June 2021 Instagram broadcast.<\/p>\n

Questions about TikTok\u2019s algorithm being manipulated to further the CCP\u2019s geopolitical interests have been raised and the platform’s use is banned on government devices by several state governments, including Maryland.<\/p>\n

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner Brendan Carr called for TikTok to be <\/u><\/a>banned<\/u><\/a> by the U.S. government last month.<\/p>\n

Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that Chinese officials have the ability to control TikTok\u2019s recommendation algorithm, “which allows them to manipulate content, and if they want to, to use it for influence operations.”<\/p>\n

Wray made the comments during a speech at the University of Michigan\u2019s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, where he also said the app collects user data that the Chinese government could then access and use for traditional espionage operations.<\/p>\n

“All of these things are in the hands of a government that doesn\u2019t share our values and that has a mission that’s very much at odds with what\u2019s in the best interests of the United States. That should concern us,” Wray said in Ann Arbor, Michigan.<\/p>\n

Wray echoed these same concerns during congressional appearances last month when he was asked by lawmakers about the app\u2019s functionality and ability to collect data on Americans.<\/p>\n

“China\u2019s vast hacking program is the world\u2019s largest, and they have stolen more Americans\u2019 personal and business data than every other nation combined,” Wray told the lawmakers.<\/p>\n

He also said the dangers of TikTok “include the possibility that the Chinese government could use it to control data collection on millions of users or control the recommendation algorithm, which could be used for influence operations if they so choose or to control software on millions of devices, which gives the opportunity to potentially tactically compromise personal devices.”<\/p>\n
