TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is claiming his China-founded app has not shared Americans’ data with the Chinese government as fears mount that the Chinese Communist Party can leverage the platform to influence and track Americans.
CEO Shou Zi Chew says his China-founded app has not shared Americans’ data with the Chinese government, as fears mount that the Chinese Communist Party can leverage the platform to influence and track Americans.
China’s policy of civil-military fusion forces businesses to work with the country’s communist regime, but Mr. Chew will say TikTok’s China-founded owner ByteDance is not an agent of the communist government. ByteDance spokeswoman Jennifer Banks told The Washington Times last week that her company’s internal investigation was continuing and the company would cooperate with official investigations. The FBI and Department of Justice are reportedly probing allegations of ByteDance’s snooping.
Mr. Chew intends to tell lawmakers that there are several misconceptions about the type of data TikTok collects on its users.
