On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson joined U.S. Representatives Mike Gallagher, Glenn Grothman, Bryan Steil, Scott Fitzgerald, and Tom Tiffany in a letter calling on Governor Evers to ban TikTok from Wisconsin government devices. They also called for Governor Evers to delete his TikTok account. In part the letter says, “TikTok is nefarious Chinese Communist Party spyware that surveils American citizens, promotes CCP propaganda, and allows the CCP to censor and control Americans’ news and content.”

This isn’t conspiracy theory. Congress and some Biden Administration officials have raised concerns about Tik Tok on national security grounds. An incredibly popular app with young people, Tik Tok brings additional dangers with its content and addictive nature. We urge parents to monitor closely the apps and videos their children access.
