One Wisconsin congressman wants ESPN to cut ties with TikTok.
Congressman Mike Gallagher sent a letter to ESPN’s president this week, asking the company about its relationship with TikTok.
Gallagher specifically asked what kind of vetting ESPN did of TikTok, and asked if ESPN knew that TikTok’s owner is “effectively controlled by the CCP.”
Gallagher has been pushing for a TikTok ban in the U.S., he says the app gives Chinese communist leaders an opportunity to spy on American users, as well as edit the news they see.
Gallagher also wants ESPN to stop letting TikTok sponsor shows or events on the network.
