Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Brendan Carr, the commission’s top Republican, wrote a to Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai this week calling on them to “remove TikTok from their app stores for its pattern of surreptitious data practices.”this week that “TikTok has been quietly telling advertisers it is exploring a possible move out of China and may even consider a spinoff from its Chinese-owned parent company ByteDance.”
Shou Zi Chew, who simultaneously served as the CFO of ByteDance until last November, began serving as CEO for TikTok in April 2021,Chew admitted that “employees outside the U.S., including China-based employees, can have access to TikTok U.S. user data," though he said it was"subject to a series of robust cybersecurity controls ... overseen by our U.S.-based security team.”
“We have not provided U.S. user data to the CCP, nor would we if asked," the TikTok leader also claimed in ato Senate Republicans on Thursday."The Chinese government does not directly or indirectly have the right to appoint board members or otherwise have specific rights with respect to any ByteDance entity within the chain of ownership or control over the TikTok entity.”
