The popular video-sharing service has admitted that some of its employees have access to data on users, which has raised concern about whether TikTok was sharing that data with the Chinese government.

TikTok’s admission that some China-based workers have access to data on US users provided fresh ammunition to a Republican member of the Federal Communications Commission who is trying to get the video-sharing service dropped from major app stores.
