X Community Notes fact checks claim by Chinese-owned social media TikTok: Commenting on a headline about TikTok suing the U.S. government over a law forcing the company’s ban or sale, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) posted, “Every single American company must bend to the Chinese communist government’s will to operate in China. I voted yes to force this sale to make TikTok safer for our children and national security. Their arrogance is astounding.” The Communist Chinese government owns a financial stake and board seat in TikTok’s parent ByteDance. The X (formerly Twitter) account for TikTok Policy responded in a quote tweet, “Since when is it arrogant to stand up for the constitution and freedom of speech?” X Community Notes imposed a fact check label saying, “Congress has the power to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, as per Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. TikTok is a foreign business operating in all 50 states.”
