Video app TikTok, under pressure from the U.S. over censorship and privacy concerns, is ramping up its D.C. lobbying. But the political mood is ripe for curbs on any Chinese upstart with global ambitions, writes GinaChon.

Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on Oct. 17 that the Chinese government forced video app TikTok to censor content that supports protests in Hong Kong. He made his comments during a speech in Washington, D.C.

TikTok, which is owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, said its content moderation policies are led by its U.S. team and are not influenced by any foreign government. It also said the Beijing government doesn’t have jurisdiction over TikTok content and that it did not remove videos based on Hong Kong protests.

Separately on Oct. 17 in an Instagram post, Republican Senator Marco Rubio called on parents to delete TikTok, saying the app collects personal data. He has also asked the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to review TikTok’s acquisition of lip-sync video app Musical.ly. On Oct. 15, TikTok U.S. General Manager Vanessa Pappas said the company had hired K&L Gates, a law firm, to help it in the areas of child safety, hate speech, misinformation and others.
