Mark Warner Calls for Rules-Based Approach to Counter Chinese Technologies<\/h2>\n<h3>TikTok a National Security Concern, Says Warner<\/h3>\n<p>Senator Mark Warner (D-Va.) has called for a rules-based approach to counter technologies owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), such as TikTok. Speaking to NTD, the sister media outlet of The Epoch Times, Warner expressed concern that the CCP may manipulate information on the video-sharing platform, allowing it to shape young people\u2019s minds according to Beijing\u2019s narrative. With as many as 150 million Americans using TikTok for an average of about 90 minutes daily, Warner said the app is a national security concern. <\/p>\n<h3>CCP Can Use TikTok as a Propaganda Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Warner, who has been critical of TikTok, pointed to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-warner-calls-for-an-organized-approach-to-deal-with-technologies-from-china\/\" title=\"Sen. Warner urges organized approach to handle Chinese technologies.\">content moderation guideline leaked<\/a> in 2019 that shows TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, instructed moderators to take down videos critical of the CCP, including the Tiananmen Square massacre and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinas-uyghur-persecution-is-like-the-holocaust-except-for-one-factor-how-will-it-end\/\" title=\"China\u2019s Uyghur Persecution Is Like The Holocaust, Except For One Factor: How Will It End?\">ongoing human rights abuses<\/a> against Uyghurs. TikTok said at that time the guidelines were \u201cno longer in use.\u201d Warner, chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said the CCP can use TikTok as a \u201cpropaganda tool.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>Warner Calls for a Rules-Based Approach<\/h3>\n<p>Warner noted the issue is broader than just TikTok. \u201cThere ought to be a rules-based approach because it\u2019s TikTok today; it might be some other technology tomorrow,\u201d said Warner. In March, Warner and Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) unveiled legislation seeking to give the federal government more power to ban TikTok and other technology products from adversarial foreign nations, including Russia and communist China. The bill, dubbed the \u201cRESTRICT Act,\u201d allows the Commerce Department to \u201cidentify, deter, disrupt, prevent, prohibit, and mitigate\u201d information and technology products supplied by foreign adversaries that pose \u201cundue or unacceptable risk\u201d to U.S. national security interests. <\/p>\n<h3>Schumer Considers Ban on TikTok and Other Foreign-Owned Apps<\/h3>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said a ban on TikTok and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-kills-trump-ban-on-tiktok-and-other-chinese-apps-accused-of-spying-instead-asks-for-further-investigation\/\" title=\"Biden Kills Trump Ban On TikTok And Other Chinese Apps Accused Of Spying, Instead Asks For Further Investigation\">foreign-owned apps<\/a> is worth considering. \u201cThis is one of the things we will look at, for sure,\u201d Schumer said at a May 3 press conference, referring to the bipartisan legislation introduced by Warner. Schumer\u2019s comment came after Senate Democrats announced they\u2019re crafting new legislation aimed at countering the Chinese regime\u2019s economic and military expansion. <\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sen.
