Recognizing the importance of the national security risks posed by foreign adversary controlled social media applications.

HRES 1051 is a resolution recognizing the national security risks posed by foreign adversary-controlled social media applications, particularly TikTok, which is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company. The resolution cites concerns that TikTok collects vast amounts of American user data - including location, private messages, and personal information - potentially accessible to the Chinese government under Chinese law. It references testimony from multiple government officials, including FBI and National Intelligence Directors, confirming these risks to U.S. security. The resolution formally acknowledges these concerns but does not propose specific legislative action.
