Digital rights campaigners have attacked TikTok as “dangerous” in the wake of revelations that the app’s parent company inappropriately accessed data from journalists 📱 ByteDance has sacked four employees who obtained personal data from two journalists
as “dangerous” in the wake of revelations that the app’s parent company inappropriately accessed data from journalists, as support grows for legislation to ban the platform in the US.TikTokThe employees are suspected of attempting to use data from the journalists’ accounts to establish what sources they were speaking to inside the company.

Huge datasets are ripe for exploitation.”, said TikTok had “confirmed what it weakly tried to deny in October: that ByteDance targeted and tracked me and my colleagues to thwart our reporting.”Financial TimesBritish MPs called for action following the revelations.
