TikTok is suspected of improperly collecting vast amounts of data on Americans for the Chinese government.
Chinese-owned TikTok is currently fighting a new US law that would force parent company ByteDance to divest TikTok’s US assets by Jan 19 or face a ban.
The Chinese-owned short-video platform boasts around 170 million US users, and is currently fighting a new law that would force ByteDance to divest TikTok’s US assets by Jan 19 or face a ban. Representative Frank Pallone, the top Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee, said the suit “underscores the importance of divesting TikTok from Chinese Communist Party control. We simply cannot continue to allow our adversaries to harvest vast troves of Americans’ sensitive data.”
The US alleges that for years millions of American children under 13 have been using TikTok and the site “has been collecting and retaining children’s personal information.”
