Ranking Member Ro Khanna’s Statement on the TikTok Deal

Washington, DC — Today, Ranking Member Ro Khanna released the following statement on TikTok’s deal to form a new U.S. entity: 

“170 million Americans use TikTok, including ordinary people who rely on it for their small businesses and income. That is why I led a bipartisan bill to repeal the TikTok ban legislation — to protect people’s free speech and livelihoods. This deal is once again causing uncertainty among many creators. I will be engaging with Americans and small business owners who depend on the app to find the best way forward and to prevent changes that could disrupt the rapidly growing creator economy while prioritizing data security,” said Ranking Member Khanna.
