of two journalists in the United States. The information is released at a time when ByteDance is under increased pressure to sell its stake in TikTok because failure to do so could result in the popular video app being banned in the U.S.
Shou Zi Chew, chief executive officer of TikTok Inc., during an interview at the TikTok office in New York, U.S., on Thursday, Feb. 17, 2022. that TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, has come under pressure from the U.S. government to sell its shares in the popular video-sharing app or face a ban in the country. This development is a significant policy shift by the Biden administration and has sparked a new round of debate.
In a statement, a ByteDance spokesperson addressed the issue, stating, “We have strongly condemned the actions of the individuals found to have been involved, and they are no longer employed at ByteDance.” The spokesperson also confirmed that the company’s internal investigation is ongoing, and ByteDance is committed to cooperating with any official investigations when brought to them.
Concerns over the security and privacy of user data on TikTok have been rekindled in light of the case. Questions have been raised regarding the app’s potential to be used as a weapon for surveillance as it continues to become more popular among American users. The growing tension between the United States and China over data privacy and national security issues is further highlighted by the increasing pressure on ByteDance to separate from TikTok.
No surprise it not as if we were not told.
🤣 Oh the irony.
this sounds good but the FBI is run by China Leftist American liberals so I doubt this 'investigation' is anymore than bs talk.
They need to investigate themselves for spying on Americans.
They wont do anything. They investigate to get the evidence and then deep six it because it will expose corrupt politicians
DOJ is there to gather all evidence so they can destroy it to protect democrats. That is priority 1.
Do Fascistbook, Google, Instagram, eat all next !
The Pot Kettle Black heritage of the USA.
TikTok definitely gathers info about American users and journalists that use the app.
Facebook, Instagram, Google, all track people. I’ll give it does nothing about that because they’re in the pockets of the Left TikTok is eating into their revenue so of course they must be stopped… 🤔
Well, duh.

Hasn’t this been a well-known fact for quite a while? I remember Trump expressing concerns about TikTok.
They are just angry that another country is doing what they themselves have been doing for decades.
Holy shit we knew this years ago….took them long enough
When are they going to investigate themselves for that?
Jealous they're not the ones spying?
The FBI and DOJ spy on journalists.
Idiots use TikTok
Wow, do you have any evidence of anything or are you just calling out tictok because you were told to?
the parent company is the chinese government, not hard to figure out
Close it.
Yeah,like guugle,faecesbook and whatsape don't do that...
Lies and endless lies
Wray and Garland both lied to congress, and are desperate for a distraction from their own crimes, and the milquetoast rinos could not be bothered to make any waves.
Wow hey Pot, why are calling the Kettle black?
Wait! Would China do anything as nefarious as spying on Americans with TikTok? Just ask Joe or Hunter. They'll tell you 'Absolutly Not!'.
They are mad because Chicoms get the information first!
The FBI recently admitted to spying on American and buying location data on civilians from US based social media companies. How is this any different?
Unlike the CIA and FBI then?
