Shocking TikTok Revelations: Your Data is Being Accessed by China
Article
Audio from 80 internal TikTok meetings shows that U.S. user data has been repeatedly accessed from China. This includes sensitive information such as Americans' birthdays and phone numbers. An internal auditor was hired to help TikTok close off Chinese access to this data. However, the level of access they have is much greater than that. It's been reported that they're targeting specific individuals. For instance, consider an executive at a major software company: if they know this executive's kids are using TikTok, and those kids are also using the same computer, they can leverage this information.
