Feenstra Votes to Protect Americans from Chinese Data Collection and Surveillance

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which protects our national security by requiring apps like TikTok to completely divest from companies controlled by foreign adversaries like China or face a ban in the United States.

“As a father of four, I believe that TikTok is a serious threat to our national security, our economy, and the wellbeing of our kids. We know that TikTok’s parent company – ByteDance – is largely controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, which directly exposes Americans to Chinese data collection, surveillance, cyberattacks, and propaganda,” said Rep. Feenstra. “This legislation will protect Americans from unlawful data collection, keep our children safe from Chinese influence, and prevent other adversaries like North Korea, Iran, and Russia from using apps to spy on Americans and steal personal information. I proudly support this effort to protect our kids and stop China’s mission to destabilize our country.”
