OTTAWA — A TikTok executive is facing off with Canadian lawmakers who have concerns that data from the app could end up in the hands of the Chinese government.
Steve de Eyre, director of public policy and government affairs for TikTok Canada, said at a House of Commons committee meeting that the video-sharing app is not controlled by the Chinese government.
Western governments have expressed worries that the popular platform owned by Beijing-based ByteDance could put sensitive data in the hands of China's government or be used as a tool to further misinformation.The federal government banned TikTok from government-owned devices in February, and provinces followed suit.
