US Considering Ban of TikTok: EU Senator Raises Alarm on Influencer Propaganda and Mental Health Risks

The United States is considering legislation that would require ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, to sell its shares to non-Chinese shareholders or face a ban of the app in the country. This move is aimed at removing control of the platform from the Chinese government, as all Chinese companies are subject to the control and direction of Beijing.

In Europe, Senator Giulio Terzi di Sant’Agata has voiced concerns about TikTok being a dangerous platform that depends on the Chinese regime and does not guarantee reliability. He emphasized the need for Europe to coordinate action to protect democratic processes, especially in light of China’s use of influencers to push anti-Western propaganda on the platform. The Senator highlighted the importance of upholding mental well-being, freedom, and the rule of law in the face of foreign information manipulation.
