The U.S. Justice Department is investigating TikTok’s parent company for spying on Americans, including several tech journalists who cover the social media giant, according to multiple reports.
The four employees who spied were later fired, and the company said it made changes to prevent it from happening again.
A law implemented by China in 2017 requires companies to give the government any personal data relevant to the country’s national security. There’s no evidence that TikTok has turned over such data, but fears abound due to the vast amount of user data it, like other social media companies, collects."Anyone with TikTok downloaded on their device has given the [Chinese Communist Party] a backdoor to all their personal information.
