TikTok's Defense Strategy Involves Throwing Shein and Temu Under the Bus

Summary

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act ( PAFACA ) aims to prevent national security threats from apps like TikTok .

The law requires TikTok to find a US buyer to take over its operation soon, or face being banned in the US .

TikTok says the law unfairly targets the social media app for the speech on the platform and that it violates the First Amendment .

Chinese ecommerce sites like Shein and Temu have faced much less scrutiny around data security than TikTok .

TikTok ’s legal strategy of highlighting the alleged data security risks of other Chinese companies will no doubt put more pressure on them.

If TikTok fails its legal challenge and is banned from operating in the US , lawmakers might turn their attention to other prominent Chinese tech companies.
