S. Concerns over tiktoks Chinese Parent Company and a potential National Security risk carried the day in the house. The bill approved on a 35265 vote with one democrat voting present. In all, 50 democrats and 15 republicans voted against the bill, which now heads to the senate. Tiktok, which denies its service as a spy tool, claims 7 million Small Businesses and 170 million american users, and in a statement urges the senate to consider the facts, listen to their constituents, and realize the impact on the economy. Republican House Speaker mike johnson applauding the vote in a statement saying, it signals our resolve to deter our enemies. Nbcs savannah sellers has details. Reporter the bill needed twothirds of the house to pass, and it got that easily the yeas are 352. The nays are 65. Reporter now, it goes to the senate where it will likely face a tougher road. If signed into law, it would give Chinese Parent Company, bytedance, just six months to divest tiktok or face the possibility of a ban on the app the legislation prompted by National Security concerns including fears the Chinese Government could access americans personal data and feed them content that would influence their views. Our intention is for tiktok to continue to operate, but not under the control of the Chinese Communist party. Reporter the 50 democrats and 15 republicans voted no. Its an overly broad bill that i dont think would stand First Amendment scrutiny. Its opening pandoras box, and im opposed to this bill.

Reporter tiktok says it has 17 million users in the u. S. According to an nbc news poll. 22 of voters say they use the app once a day or more. The potential political fallout with those young voters not lost on some senators. Cutting out a large group of young voters is not the bestknown strategy for reelection. Reporter republican mike gallagher, one of the bills sponsors, says thats not a good enough reason to ignore a looming National Security threat i dont think courting the clicks of 17yearolds should take precedence over allowing our foremost foreign adversary to dominate what is increasingly becoming the primary news source for americans under the age of 30. Reporter tiktok says its ceo was on the hill today, but its unclear if he met with lawmakers the Company Maintains it is not owned or controlled by the Chinese Government this legislation if signed into la will lead to a ban of tiktok in the United States savannah, whats the thinking of how this bill might fare in the senate .

Reporter its not the trends that worry top u. S. Officials, but the threats, they say, tiktok poses sounding the alarm about the popular apps chinesebased ownership. Tiktok presents serious National Security risks to the people of the United States americans need to ask themselves whether they want to give the Chinese Government the ability to control access to their data. Reporter like many apps, tiktok collects user information like ip addresses, approximate location, synced contacts, and more the concern, not only that china, the ccp, might be able to see all that info, but how they could use it, especially in an election year. You cannot rule out that the ccp could again use tiktok as a platform to influence 2024 elections, right . We cannot rule out that the ccp could use it, correct. Reporter now, fears the Chinese Government could covertly spread mis and disinformation, all of it part of a broader battle with one of the biggeste of the biggest World Economic powerhouses. I think this is one of the rungs on the way up the ladder of a cold wartype dispute between the United States and china theres so many more opportunities for the chinese to influence the American Population reporter tiktoks already banned on governmentowned devices in the u. S. And in countries like canada and australia india banned the app altogether tiktok has long insisted it works to protect personal info pointing out new u. S. User data is stored on a u. S. Based cloud, and it denies chinas government controls the app. The bottom line is this, american data stored on american soil by an American Company overseen by american personnel reporter in a letter to congress, tiktok says, its invested more than 1. 5 billion to address concerns and argues u. S. Data could be less secure if the company is sold. Lester hallie, thank you.

Now to our nbc news investigation enid is a Small Community in oklahoma, but tonight its a town divided over its identity, reputation, and an official who once led a local chapter of a White Nationalist group. Brandy zadrozny has our report reporter its an unusual meetup on a monday night in enid, oklahoma the location is secret somebody minds the door for security. A small group determined to change their city so, everybody in this room played a role reporter among those here are 69yearold connie vickers. I was born and raised here in enid. Reporter and 74yearold Nancy Presnall ive lived here most of my life. Reporter theyre best friends and democrats, rare in the deeply conservative county both retired, but hard at work. How many doors did you knock on i dont know. Yeah, it was a lot. Reporter enough to get the signatures needed for a recall election of city commissioner judd blevins. [ crowd chanting jews will not replace us ] reporter this is judd blevins in 2017, tiki torch in hand in charlottesville, virginia, marching alongside avowed White Supremacists and neonazis. I saw the picture of judd blevins with the tiki torch, and i was, like, just shocked. Reporter the more they looked, the more they found blevins had been an active leader in the White Nationalist group, identity europa according to an analysis of photos, biographical details, and other information, blevins hid his white nationalis identity behind the online moniker conway. In private online forums reviewed by nbc news, blevins as conway posted racist messages and praised hitler, and yet when the former marine ran for city commissioner last year as a conservative republican he won by 36 votes. [ crowd chanting ] lets go. Reporter now presnall and vickers are part of the enid social justice committee, vocal opponents of blevins since he took office. The group mincing no words on its website saying, enid has a nazi problem. A lot of people dont want to say the word nazi, but when you see what he did and what hes involved with, you know, its not namecalling its what he is and what he believes. Reporter we wanted to ask blevins what he believes for ourselves, but he denied our multiple requests for interviews we tried once more outside a city council meeting. Can i ask, you are a leader in an Oklahoma Chapter of a White Nationalist organization, and i want to know if you have any explanation of that. Come here come here. Come here. No. Then why did you hold a tiki torch and march . Why did you says jews will not replace us . Ive been a conservative all my life. Reporter cindy allen was editor and publisher of the enid news and eagle when blevins won, and her paper had published a front page story about his past prior to the election blevins called it a hit piece. We followed up many times, and he never would answer us. And yet he won. He won. Theres an opportunity now to address what kind of tolerance of extremism this community is going to have reporter enids mayor, david mason, also a conservative republican says, behind closed doors, blevins admitted to his involvement in White Nationalist activities and my followup question was, are you still involved with those groups and he told me, i do not have to answer that question, and my thought was, you just did. Reporter blevins opponent in the recall election set for april 2nd is a republican too. She didnt want to talk about the race with us, a race that most here see is squarely about blevins. If we vote him in a second time, that probably says a lot about about who we are. Reporter that identity is exactly what vickers and presnall are working for. National white supremacist organizations have called you two outrageous antifa commandos. Badge of honor. What happens if you dont win . We keep putting up a fight. Were not going to put up with it quietly. Reporter fighting, they say, for the soul of their city.
