Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rejected banning TikTok in her first TikTok video, saying it 'just doesn't feel right to me'

• Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez discussed calls to ban TikTok in her debut on the app.
• The New York Democrat said the bipartisan push to ban TikTok in the US "doesn't feel right to me."
• AOC said America needed stronger data and privacy protection laws rather than a TikTok ban.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said TikTok should not be banned in her first video on the app Saturday.

The New York Democrat started her video by saying: "This is not only my first TikTok, but it is a TikTok about TikTok. Do I believe TikTok should be banned? No."

"I think it's important to discuss how unprecedented of a move this would be. The United States has never before banned a social media company from existence, from operating in our borders," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And this is an app that has over 150 million Americans on it."
