Concerns that data from TikTok’s 150 million American users could be shared with the Chinese government are driving bills in Congress that could end up banning the app.
Democrats and Republicans on a U.S. House committee were united on Thursday in expressing skepticism about TikTok’s defense of its popular video-sharing app as they grilled its CEO, Shou Zi Chew.
But lawmakers from either side of the aisle didn’t sound like they were won over by TikTok’s CEO, a native of Singapore who had noted in his opening remarks that his wife had been born in Virginia. Democrats and Republicans are “in agreement that we are frustrated with TikTok, we’re upset with TikTok,” Cardenas said.
Chew responded by saying Tik Tok is not available within mainland China, and he said his company makes use of Chinese employees. But the CEO didn’t offer a yes or no in response to the Texas lawmaker’s question.
