TikTok has tried to allay privacy concerns in the US and Europe by routing traffic from each territory to domestic servers and carrying out third-party security and data audits, despite ByteDance’s declaration that it wouldn’t share user data with China, according to US officials.
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew has argued that data protection projects the company has set up in the US and Europe “are the real solutions,” despite the fact that a whistleblower has asserted that there are flaws in the projects. this week, the company said that the US told ByteDance to sell the app or TikTok could face a nationwide ban.
