TikTok has been in the crosshairs of the US government for years. Congress and the government has alleged that TikTok is collecting your data and funneling it to China through its parent company Bytedance. In return the government and Congress has said that China is is using TikTok as a tool to spread propaganda in the United States. Lawmakers and government officials have never publicly provided any evidence of those allegations. And because of all that, Congress banned the app.
For its part TikTok says Congress and the US government do NOT have their facts straight. TikTok says the truth is, it goes above and beyond any other tech company in the United States to protect US user data and there is NO interference from China.
For the first time ever TikTok is opening up its state-of-the-art data security center and talking about its innovative operation. This is a place NO ONE has ever seen before (including most TikTok employees). In this story you will get to go inside and hear directly from the guy that TikTok has put in charge of keeping your data on the platform safe and you’ll hear from the independent security monitor tasked with making sure TikTok is on the up and up.
This is your opportunity to see it and decide for yourself whether what TikTok is doing to protect data is enough.
