flag Republican Congressman John Moolenaar is raising national security concerns over a proposed TikTok U.S. sale plan, warning that allowing ByteDance to retain influence via an algorithm licensing deal could enable Chinese control over content distribution and user data. flag The plan, backed by President Trump and delayed until January 20, 2025, would transfer ownership to a U.S.-based consortium, with ByteDance keeping under 20% ownership and a board seat. flag Moolenaar seeks a detailed briefing to assess whether the algorithm can be fully separated from Chinese oversight, as its inner workings remain opaque.
