  1. The FBI, police, district attorneys, and forensic teams need access to TikTok data for investigations, but because it’s stored in China, U.S. authorities can’t access it. This violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from unlawful searches. TikTok’s CEO isn’t a U.S. citizen, and their data storage outside the U.S. makes it hard for authorities to do their jobs, raising serious legal concerns.

  2. It's not us.... It's American families. What happened? American families who have tragically lost loved ones to dangerous TikTok challenges are calling on the government to take decisive action. These families have faced immense challenges in seeking justice through lawsuits against the platform, a process that is both difficult and emotionally devastating. Many are demanding that the government shut down TikTok entirely if the company continues to refuse to compensate for these wrongful deaths. ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, has consistently avoided accountability for the harm caused by its platform. Despite numerous reports of fatal incidents linked to viral challenges, the company has failed to implement adequate safety measures to protect users, particularly children, from dangerous trends. Families affected by these tragedies argue that this inaction demonstrates a disregard for human life and public safety. This issue is not just a matter of personal grief or corporate responsibility—it is a matter of national security. TikTok's data practices, with servers based in China, pose a potential risk to U.S. security interests. Combined with the platform's failure to address harmful content effectively, these concerns highlight the urgent need for government intervention. Families are urging the U.S. government to hold TikTok accountable and ensure that no other parents endure the heartbreak of losing a child due to preventable harm on a social media platform. Protecting American lives and upholding national security must remain a top priority.
