Shoshana Weissmann, director of digital media at the R Street Institute, said the Biden campaign’s use of the app is “super hypocritical” and “undermines his case” for the bill.  

“If this were so dangerous from a data acquisition perspective, someone close to the president who uses the TikTok app to upload stuff, that would be a really sensitive position where you really wouldn’t want to have that happen,” Weissmann said.
