Tom Cotton Urges Biden to Open Investigation into Temu, Says It Might Be ‘More Dangerous than TikTok’

Senator Tom Cotton demanded that President Biden open an investigation into Temu, the Chinese e-commerce platform, and clarify what legal authorities he would need from Congress to ban the app.

In a letter to Biden today, Cotton (R., Ark.) reiterated some of the long-standing concerns about Temu, including its alleged links to Uyghur forced labor and the questionable data-privacy practices of its parent company. It’s a bid to get the president to move toward a ban of the app.
