Republican Senator John Cornyn wants to know about TikTok’s relationship with the Chinese government.
The app is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company.
He asks TikTok’s Shou Zi Chew if the company has shared US user data with the Chinese government, as mandated by Chinese law.
“We have not been asked for any data by the Chinese government and we have never provided it,” Chew responds.
Cornyn brings up a Wall Street Journal article published yesterday, which alleges data is being shared between TikTok and its Chinese parent, ByteDance.
Chew disputes this. “There are many things about that article that are inaccurate,” he says.
