“When in doubt, the motto is not to cross, so that is why we support this proposal from the CDA,” says VVD MP Hawre Rahimi. The ChristenUnie is “obviously in favor of a ban”, says Nico Drost. “But let’s get going right away. If it’s not good enough for government officials, then why should it be for our children.” A majority of the House is therefore in favor of a ban.
The House of Representatives has long been concerned about TikTok, which has a Chinese parent company. The House fears that data from the social medium can be viewed by the Chinese government. Earlier, the ChristenUnie called for the app to be completely banned from the Netherlands. At the request of the VVD, the House will soon speak with experts about the dangers of the app.
