On March 23, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is scheduled to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He is expected to testify about the company’s data privacy and security practises the impact on young users, and its “relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.”
Finally, the investigation into TikTok’s possible ties to the Chinese government and spying on American users is ongoing. The Biden administration has asked ByteDance to sell the app or face a national ban, while TikTok is requesting permission to operate in the country under ByteDance’s ownership. As the investigation continues, it will be interesting to see what steps are taken to address the national security concerns raised by TikTok.
