Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has voiced concerns over the Biden campaign’s potential use of TikTok for their 2024 campaign.

He cites national security threats and notes that President Biden had previously banned TikTok on U.S. government devices.

Key Points:

  • Sen. Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, has raised alarm over the Biden campaign’s contemplation of using TikTok for their 2024 election efforts.
  • He highlights that not only have several governors banned TikTok, but President Biden had also signed legislation in the previous year that prohibited the use of TikTok on U.S. government devices.
  • Sen. Cotton points out the inconsistency in White House senior aides using government phones that cannot download TikTok while having personal campaign phones to access TikTok for Joe Biden’s campaign updates.
  • The senator suggests that the Biden campaign’s consideration of using TikTok may be a response to President Biden’s declining popularity in polls, especially among young voters and other core Democratic constituencies.
  • Sen. Cotton calls for President Biden to sign a comprehensive ban on TikTok into law in the coming month.

Commentary:

Sen. Cotton’s concerns about the potential use of TikTok by the Biden campaign warrant serious consideration.

TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, has faced scrutiny for its data privacy practices and potential ties to the Chinese government.

With previous bans on TikTok for U.S. government devices, the decision to employ the platform for political campaigning raises questions about national security.

While it is essential to explore new avenues for reaching voters, it must be done with utmost caution, especially when there are valid concerns about foreign influence and data security.

Sen. Cotton’s stance reflects the need for a measured approach to safeguarding American democracy.

President Biden should heed this call and consider the potential risks TikTok poses before allowing its use in his campaign.

National security should always take precedence over political expediency, and in this instance, caution is undoubtedly warranted.
