TikTok is becoming Gen Z's top search engine choice, and Heritage Foundation's Kara Frederick warns young generations are 'getting a flood of CCP-influenced propaganda' every day.
As China increasingly grows as a U.S. adversary versus ally, one tech expert sounded a "five-alarm fire" about how Chinese-owned TikTok is indoctrinating America’s youngest generations. "The information environment is being actively manipulated by our enemy. That is a problem," the Heritage Foundation tech policy center director Kara Frederick said on "The Bottom Line" Wednesday.
Montana became the first state this year to ban new downloads of the video-sharing app based on fears over Chinese misinformation or influence. In response, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, claimed in a lawsuit that Montana’s ban "infringes on the First Amendment rights of the people of Montana by unlawfully banning TikTok, a platform that empowers hundreds of thousands of people across the state." The legal challenge is currently moving through the court system.
