Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher, who led the push to ban TikTok due to concerns about Chinese surveillance, is resigning from Congress and joining American surveillance company Palantir. His bill aimed to force TikTok's Chinese parent company to sell the platform or face a potential ban. Gallagher's move to Palantir has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest, as he previously worked with a Palantir executive to build support for the bill.
