An FCC Commissioner has called for a ban on TikTok in the US, as other bad headlines about the video-sharing app mount.
Even before now, though, the commissioner already seemed to be thinking along those same lines when I spoke with him a couple of months ago — even if he wasn’t ready to call yet for a ban of some sort.
“You’ve already got the military branches that have banned TikTok from their official government devices,” he told me. “I just don’t see how you can be half-pregnant when it comes to the security concerns of TikTok, which is enough of a concern to boot it off military devices. It seems hard to conclude that the exact same military personnel should be able to put it on their personal phones — and be in the same areas as they are when they’re acting in their official capacities.
This comes after Carr, in June, sent letters to Google and Apple asking them to explain why TikTok remains available for users to download from the companies’ respective App Stores. His letters were motivated largely by news reporting of leaked audio from internal TikTok meetings showing that US user data has been accessed from inside China.Reporting along those lines, in fact, has also mounted in recent weeks and months.
