Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday that the US is considering banning TikTok over concerns of Chinese surveillance., Pompeo said that the Trump administration was "certainly" looking at banning the viral video app.
"We are taking this very seriously and we are certainly looking at it," Pompeo said. "We have worked on this very issue for a long time, whether its the problem of having Huawei technology in your infrastructure — we've gone all over the world and we are making real progress getting that out — we had declared ZTE a danger to American national security," said Pompeo.
"With respect to Chinese apps on people's cell phones, I can assure you the United States will get this one right too," he said. Pompeo warned that Americans should be wary of downloading the popular app unless they wanted their private data "in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.", along with dozens over other Chinese apps, citing concerns about national security and privacy of user data.
