People in the Lone Star state weighed in on whether members of Congress jeopardize national security by using the Chinese-owned video app TikTok.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Absolutely,” Nav, who recently moved to Austin<\/a> from Toronto, told Fox News. “They shouldn’t have it on their devices at all.”<\/p>\n

But Michael disagreed.<\/p>\n

“Not necessarily at this particular time,” the Austin resident said.<\/p>\n

Congress recently passed a bill that included a provision that bans executive branch employees from downloading TikTok on their government devices<\/a> over concerns that the Chinese-owned app threatens national security. More than a dozen states have issued similar restrictions.<\/p>\n

But some congressional Democrats \u2014 such as Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Jamaal Bowman of New York \u2014 still use TikTok<\/a> despite the legislature’s concerns.<\/p>\n

“Congressmen and women are in a vulnerable situation if they have the app on their phone because China can be tracking them,” Lisa, who was visiting Austin from Melbourne, Australia, told Fox News.<\/p>\n

But a Dallas-Fort Worth area resident said “it really depends on what they’re posting.”<\/p>\n

Bronte said she felt Congress should also be subject to the TikTok ban.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s weird to just have that one branch have it banned from them,” she said.<\/p>\n

Michael agreed.<\/p>\n

“Especially with Congress \u2014 but even their staffers \u2014 the Congress people are sending messages and information and are exchanging information back and forth,” he told Fox News.<\/p>\n

TikTok\u2019s parent company, ByteDance, has maintained that its user data is not subject to a Chinese law<\/a> that forces companies to submit internal data to the state upon request. FBI Director Christopher Wray recently warned that the app could be used for Chinese influence operations or to compromise devices.<\/p>\n

ByteDance has also used TikTok to track journalists’ locations, Forbes reported in December<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nav supported a blanket ban of TikTok from the personal and work-issued devices of all federal employees.<\/p>\n

“It’s too easy for them to be tracked,” he said. “And with China having access to all that data, I don’t think it’s a good idea.”<\/p>\n
