Representative Nancy Mace this week condemned the U.S. Government's proposal to ban TikTok. She released the following statement:
"Banning TikTok is beating the same drum as other communist countries controlling what content we are able to see. Let's not give the government any more power to control social media."
Her campaign accompanied Rep. Mace's statement with the following:
"We present a comprehensive argument against the proposed ban of TikTok, advocating for viewer discretion over government intervention, proposing the RESTRICT Act as a viable alternative, and emphasizing the importance of defending constitutional rights and dispelling misinformation about TikTok's operations. Furthermore, we warn of the potential consequences of a ban, including the threat of a surveillance state and a step toward increased government control and socialism.
As a staunch advocate for digital rights and individual freedoms, Representative Nancy Mace calls upon her colleagues to resist knee-jerk reactions and instead pursue measured approaches that safeguard liberties while addressing legitimate security concerns."
