She does have some good points ..
1. If we are concerned about people’s privacy and data then why aren’t we protecting it universally from every company stealing their data and invading their privacy?
Yes, privacy is important .. and yes we should have standards for all the companies on this topic .. ( isn't every company a tech company in some way now ? )
Yet, "
One more thing, I’m typing this on my Apple phone. How many other members of congress have Apple phones made in China?"
hmm .. she is clearly not properly addressing the main issue ..
It's about the ability on a macro level, as well as micro level to dramatically influence the US and other nation states.
China knows this, and that is why no USA company has the same level of control in "social media" companies in China.
( believe me, Google, Yahoo and others did try to enter the Chinese market .. )
Foreign adversary .. China is a friendemy
From a independent Nation State pov .. you really do not want foreign adversaries to control your avenues of speech .. ( media )
( probably also applies to major e-commerce platforms and shipping data .. )

I have concerns with the Tik Tok ban bill.
1. If we are concerned about people’s privacy and data then why aren’t we protecting it universally from every company stealing their data and invading their privacy?
2. This one bothers me. This bill forces the sale of a company owned by an “enemy.” While I certainly will always do everything in my power to protect Americans and put America first, who and which company may become the enemy tomorrow?
We have seen the government choose which speech is accepted and which speech is hate speech and which speech is misinformation and which speech is not accepted.
Then through DHS, tell social media and big tech who to censor and who to shadow ban, while the accepted “good” speech was promoted widely.
We watched Democrats and the media cheer for violent BLM riots for months in 2020 and drop over 95% of charges then Biden’s DOJ turn and continuously prosecute J6 protesters, including nonviolent and those who never entered the Capitol. Now J6’ers have been named an enemy and domestic terrorists by our government.
In other words, once we go down this road, who’s to say that a future congress and admin won’t declare a company to be owned by an “enemy” purely based on politics and speech that current admin doesn’t like? Like X or Truth Social.
3. When Tik Tok is sold, who will buy it? And why is the expectation that it will be better?
If it’s Meta, the content will be very unlikely to change, therefore all the conservatives, who think this bill will protect our children, will be greatly disappointed when it doesn’t change at all. The same gender lies are all over Instagram just like they are on Tik Tok.
Lastly, who gets rich when elected members of congress vote to force ByteDance to sell Tik Tok? Which investment company and investors? Are any of them elected? Bill sponsors/cosponsors? Just asking.
4. If we want to be tough on China, why don’t we move our critical supply chain to be made in America? Why don’t we ban the green new deal which forces America to rely on China for EV batteries? Why don’t we become energy independent again by opening up drilling all over America and rebuilding every sector of fossil fuel energy in the U.S. and dominate the world? Why don’t we make decisions that strengthen our dollar?
5. If as parents, we don’t like what our children are being exposed to then why don’t we be parents and stop our children from being exposed to it?
6. This might confuse some but others will get it. Lastly as a Christian, I like what Jesus did. He had dinner with sinners because he came to save them.
One more thing, I’m typing this on my Apple phone. How many other members of congress have Apple phones made in China?
