WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Greg Casar (D-Texas) released the following statement after voting no on H.R.7521, the TikTok forced sale bill.
“I voted no on the TikTok forced sale bill. While I have serious data privacy concerns with TikTok, this bill was rapidly rushed to a vote by the Republicans with almost no public scrutiny -- and that’s a recipe for unintended consequences,” said Congressman Greg Casar (D-Texas). “We need well-vetted, robust protections for TikTok users. Today’s bill simply may not work.”
