.TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew promised the app will maintain a firewall between US user data and the CCP, an effort to stave off a ban on the app by increasingly skeptical legislators. 'We know we have a responsibility to protect [American users],' Chew said.
Chew began his role as CEO for TikTok in April 2021; however, he simultaneously served as CFO of ByteDance — the China-based company that owns the app — until November 2021. His move to TikTok was viewed as one that solidified the influence of the Chinese parent company over the app.
However, despite Chew's claims, questions about China's ties to the app remain — as well as doubts about his role. Also, a report this week for the Australian Senate Select Committee on Foreign Interference through Social Media “confirms beyond any plausible doubt” that “ByteDance is subject to all the influence, guidance, and de facto control to which the Chinese Communist Party now subjects all PRC technology companies” and that “CCP and PRC state agencies have extended their ties into ByteDance to the point that the company can no longer be accurately described as a private enterprise.
