National security group launches 7-figure ad campaign targeting TikTok
Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: A newly formed national security group is unveiling a seven-figure ad campaign targeting TikTok and seeking to expose its ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"TikTok is a dangerous, sophisticated communist propaganda and espionage tool. Zhang Fuping’s prominent role as propagandist-in-chief at ByteDance proves this," State Armor founder and CEO Michael Lucci told Fox News Digital. "Through TikTok, Communist Party agents have direct access to over 100 million phones in America, leaving them well positioned to have a serious, malign influence on our everyday discourse and even our 2024 elections."
"TikTok routinely pushes propaganda that is designed to undermine everything Americans hold dear: our family values, our way of life, the mental health of our youth, and even the very basis for our constitutional government," Lucci said. "Worse, this deluge of ideological brainwashing is directed specifically toward vulnerable young people."
