Former Vice President Mike Pence has been vocal about his stance on TikTok, the popular social media platform. He firmly believes that the United States should ban TikTok, citing concerns about privacy and national security. Pence asserts that TikTok serves as a platform for the Chinese Communist government, allowing them to collect data on Americans without their knowledge.
In his words, “Young Americans need to know that their privacy is being compromised.” Pence’s position aligns with other Republican candidates who have urged President Joe Biden to take a tougher stance against China on various issues. The battle over TikTok is just one aspect of the broader tensions between the US and China regarding technological ambitions and data security.
Interestingly, Pence also took a jab at one of his rivals in the Republican presidential nomination race, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who initially criticized TikTok but later signed up for the platform after meeting with one of their executives. Pence, however, remains resolute: "Well, they are never going to change my mind".
As the debate continues, the fate of TikTok remains uncertain, and the clash between privacy concerns and global technology platforms persists.
