Airbnb is Sharing User Data With China

Foreign policy was a prominent subject during the Nov. 8 Republican presidential primary debate. The discussions ranged from the wars in Israel and Ukraine to growing threats from Iran and North Korea. However, the candidates agreed that the greatest long-term threat to America is China.

When discussing TikTok — a social media app with connections to China — the politicians were largely aligned on banning the app.

However, Vivek Ramaswamy said that while TikTok may be the platform in the spotlight, other apps and online services also pose national security risks due to their ties to China.

“We have to ban any U.S. company actually transferring U.S. data to the Chinese,” Ramaswamy said. “Here’s a story most people don’t know. Airbnb hands over U.S. user data to the CCP. Now that’s a U.S.-owned company.”
