A letter from a Republican and Democrat Senator accuses TikTok representatives of lying under oath to congress about the way the CCP-owned company treats its U.S. User Data. The Senators, Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) claim NY Times and Forbes reports call into question the testimony from TikTok’s representatives during congressional testimony back in March.
The claims are that the CCP-owned company is not handing over U.S. user data to Xi Jinping’s Communist Party. Forbes claims the CCP-owned company is tracking user Social Security numbers and Tax ID numbers on servers in China, while the NY Times report alleges U.S. user data is being shared on a Chinese collaboration tool called Lark.
The letter said, in part, “We are deeply troubled by TikTok’s recurring pattern of providing misleading, inaccurate or false information to Congress and its users in the United States, including in response to us during oversight hearings and letters.”
