Three US lawmakers are urging for increased scrutiny of the NewsBreak app in the United States, citing its Chinese origins and use of AI tools to generate inaccurate stories. Concerns were raised regarding NewsBreak's ties to Chinese investors, the presence of its engineers in China, and its shared interests with Chinese companies. The company refuted claims of being Chinese-owned, stating it is an American company.
