TikTok is engaged in negotiations to remain operational in the U.S., addressing concerns over data security under Chinese government influence. CEO Chew highlighted TikTok's transparency efforts, offering audits and oversight. Despite assurances that user data isn't shared with China, the legality of such data requests under Chinese laws poses challenges. TikTok's "Project Texas" aims to separate U.S. user data, ensuring access restrictions for China-based employees. However, concerns remain regarding clarity and practical implementation of their data protection measures.
Over the past two years, we have provided unprecedented transparency by opening our systems to independent third-party audits and oversight.
Chew told Senators that TikTok has never, and would never, share U.S. user data with the Chinese government.
