Republicans and Democrats sparred with the CEO of TikTok at a congressional hearing Thursday over data security and content manipulation concerns, as he denied allegations of spying on Americans for the Chinese Communist Party.
It's assumed a TikTok trend goes viral because the company promotes the content to other users identified by the company algorithm.
He argues the app isn't a "bulletin board" for people to pick and choose what they see; rather, he said, the company is pushing content and therefore acting like a publisher. He said he suspects the company will not follow the Beehive State's law set to go into effect next year.A number of lawmakers questioned Beijing's control over TikTok through its parent company.
Utah Sen. Mitt Romney and other leaders took to social media to claim this was a veiled admission that spying "is happening."
