The social media app TikTok is due to be removed from federal agencies' devices by the end of February under a bipartisan law sparked by concerns over the app's ties to China.
TikTok and ByteDance are currently under investigation by the Treasury Department's Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. , which evaluates national security risks associated with foreign-owned companies operating in the U.S. or foreign investments in American companies. It's unclear when the CFIUS probe will conclude.
TikTok has ramped up its lobbying and public relations efforts amid the mounting political pressure with an initiative it's calling "Project Texas." Under the plan, TikTok would give U.S. regulators oversight of its algorithms. It has also spent $1.5 billion to reorganize its U.S. operations as part of the effort, which it claims will ensure the data of American users won't be accessible to its China-based parent company ByteDance or the CCP.
