Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the U.S. is “certainly looking at” restricting TikTok and other Chinese social media apps
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a Fox News interview on Monday that the U.S. is “certainly looking at” restricting TikTok and other Chinese social media apps, reviving national security and privacy concerns about China's tech giants, and stoking one front in the Trump administration's trade war with Beijing....
Pompeo’s remarks follow months of concern from Senators, both Republican and Democrat, who consider TikTok among the most high-profile Chinese tech firms to be a threat to U.S. national security. Last year, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and Republican Senator Tom Cotton called for a national intelligenceinto the app, over concerns that China’s communist government could force parent company ByteDance to hand over data about U.S. users, and censor information critical of Chinese authorities.
TikTok has steadily denied claims of data sharing with Beijing and censorship and made big moves to try and allay U.S lawmakers’ security concerns, including recently hiring Disney executive Kevin Mayer as TikTok CEO and COO of ByteDance, and vowing that international users' date won't be stored on servers in China.
