TikTok routes job applicants personal data through China, but doesn t always tell people, Business Insider reported this week.
US and UK lawmakers tell us the revelation is concerning, with one planning to confront TikTok about it on Friday. There is no reason Americans should subject themselves and their personal information to that risk, said a spokesperson for US senator Rick Scott.
The issue raises many questions about every other piece of data shared with them, said Tom Tugendhat MP.
TikTok has said it will halt sending applicant data to China, and said again that it does not store app user data in China.
