                           OPPOSE TIKTOK BAN

  (Mr. KHANNA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KHANNA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on the floor of Congress to 
speak out against the ban on TikTok that will take place in 6 days, on 
January 19. I call on President Biden and President-elect Trump to put 
a pause on this ban so 170 million Americans don't lose their free 
speech. Millions of Americans' livelihoods will be ended if this ban 
takes place.
  We need to be for free speech. We can protect Americans' data, we can 
protect us from foreign interference on algorithms, but we should not 
ban TikTok. I call on others to join me in standing up for free speech 
and opposing this TikTok ban.
