FCC Commissioner: I Wouldn’t Support Anything But an ‘Outright Ban’ of TikTok at This Time

‘The most important thing that the TikTok CEO had to do yesterday was build some level of trust and credibility with Congress, and in that effort I think he completely failed’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

CARR: "No, I don’t see it at this point. Even the White House, last week reports were that they went to TikTok and said, 'Look, you either have to divest Chinese government ownership, Chinese ownership, or face a potential ban.' I think that’s the right thing. The most important thing that the Tiktok CEO had to do yesterday was build some level of trust and credibility with Congress, and in that effort I think he completely failed. So, we’ll see -- look, there’s still a lot of time left, there’s still a lot of issues, potential hurdles to get legislation passed or get the Treasury Department, which is looking at this, to take action, but really the trust is just bottoming out for TikTok. It doesn’t look good. Look, there’s 150 million Americans that are on this, for sure, so we’ve got to make the case to them very clearly that there’s a risk here."
