A team within ByteDance’s “Internal Audit and Risk Control department” reportedly conducts investigations into possible “misconduct” by current and former employees, but in at least two cases, the team had planned on gathering TikTok data about the location of a U.S. citizen who had never worked at the company.The department is led by Beijing-based executive Song Ye, who reports to ByteDance cofounder and CEO Rubo Liang.
While it remains unclear whether the Beijing-based company was able to collect personal data about these Americans, it is nonetheless clear that the plan was to use location information to surveil individual American citizens, not to send them targeted ads.ForbesThe outlet added that both TikTok and ByteDance did not answer questions about whether the department has specifically targeted any members of the U.S. government, activists, public figures, or journalists.
Meanwhile, TikTok is reportedly close to signing an accord with the Treasury Department’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States , which assesses national security risks presented foreign companies.having personal data exposed to hacking and espionage by China — even if the U.S. government sets up a security agreement designed to prevent the platform from being banned, former national security officials and other experts say.
Who else does it , Google, Apple, Facebook even. Your local weather app. Is it OK if your government is doing it ?

The White House backs China tik Tok I have no idea why it's allowed in the United States
The fact that some are delusional enough to believe they just planned to, instead of having already done so, and continue to do so, is truly sad. UnrestrictedWarfare BoycottCCP
So basically like the NSA does here. 🤷♂️
Just like every other social media app. Lol
No problem. They're good guys.
Yawn
Why are Americans okay with this? Or specifically, why are Democrats okay with this? Oh right, they’re not Americans.
Ban TikTok
NO TO CHINA
Doesn't surprise me. Communist China already has police and military inside the US. Just a matter of time before US citizens start 'disappearing'
Why I wouldn't use it
Not going to bother me.
Facebook does the same thing. I guess it is ok if it is an American company.
So basically exactly what Facebook, Twitter and Google do for the NSA.
They already have. Please
