Ex-Department of Defense cyber security leader Brian Haugli says TikTok users can limit the app's access to your personal data through Apple or Android phone settings.
GETTR CEO Jason Miller argues China and TikTok have the upper hand in the inherent cyber conflict with the U.S.
"If you go to your chart for your doctor to look at, that's now in your browser history, that application has access to your phone in a way that could give them access to all of that information," he explained while also noting passwords are vulnerable, too, and "that information you are putting into that phone, TikTok, other applications like it that you give permissions to on your phone, you're allowing that to go on.
"I don't think we're doing enough. We have the opportunity to be able to put pressure on Google and Apple to remove this application from its store," Haugli argued. "We have an opportunity to be able to build better regulation within the United States and actually set up infrastructure that could block access to this data or this data leaving our environment. It's not something that the US has set up today, and it's something that I think we very much need.
