GOP lawmakers press TikTok CEO on 'deluge of pro-Hamas content' on platform
Fox News
House GOP lawmakers are demanding more information about the scope of China's influence on TikTok and the platform's data gathering practices amid a rise in antisemitic content.
The letter is being led by Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga. It comes just days after TikTok was under fire for facilitating a surge in viral videos expressing support for Usama bin Laden’s 2002 "Letter to America" written in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Elizabeth Elkind is a reporter for Fox News Digital focused on Congress as well as the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and politics. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
TikTok said the content "clearly violates our rules on supporting any form of terrorism," and that it would be removing the content. However, the company defended itself: "The number of videos on TikTok is small and reports of it trending on our platform are inaccurate. This is not unique to TikTok and has appeared across multiple platforms and the media." Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
