TikTok COO Vanessa Pappas recently testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, stating that the company will not commit to stopping the transfer of U.S. data to China.
that on Wednesday, TikTok’s Chief Operating Officer Vanessa Pappas testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee about the Chinese-owned short-form video app. Other tech giants were also questioned by the committee, including senior executives at Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Apple CEO Tim Cook was also seen in the building but did not appear before the committee.Sen. Rob Portman
Sen. Rob Portman asked Pappas: “Will TikTok commit to cutting off all data and data flows to China, China-based TikTok employees, ByteDance employees, or any other party in China that might have the capability to access information on US users?” However, Chinese national security law dictates that all companies located there must cooperate with data requests from the government. This has resulted in TikTok facing questioning in the U.S. after an American communications regulator called on Apple and Google to ban the app over “national security” concerns. This is related to the possibility that U.S. user data could be transferred to the Chinese government and used to undermine U.S. interests.
