Banning TikTok In The US Should Be Considered - Schumer
US Senator Chuck Schumer has proposed to ban TikTok in the United States.
According to CNN, Schumer said “We do know there’s Chinese ownership of the company that owns TikTok. And there are some people in the Commerce Committee that are looking into that right now.”
US lawmakers Marco Rubio, a Republican senator from Florida, and Angus King, an independent from Maine, said they had reintroduced new legislation that aims to ban TikTok from operating in the United States, unless it cut ties to its current owner.
TikTok is owned by ByteDance, one of the most valuable private companies in China.
US officials have raised concerns that China could use its laws to pressure TikTok or ByteDance to hand over US user data that could be used for intelligence or disinformation purposes.
Those worries have prompted the US government to ban TikTok from official devices, and more than half of US states have taken similar measures, according to a CNN analysis.
TikTok has previously pushed back on the claims, saying it doesn’t share information with the Chinese government, and that a US-based security team decides who can access US user data from China.
