TikTok may get banned in the US, CEO grilled by US lawmakers

TikTok CEO  Shou Zi Chew, testifying before the US Congress for the first time, has said that the short-video-making platform will never share US user data with China. Chew appeared before members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee late Thursday night, TechCrunch reported. He assured that the company will enhance privacy and protect against any possibility of 'unauthorized foreign access' to US user data.

Western authorities have become progressively worried that China's administration has connections to the application that it could use for undercover work or to push publicity to its countless worldwide clients. Officials in the United States, the European Union, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom have already been instructed to remove TikTok from their mobile devices.
