TikTok CEO Grilled by Arkansas Senator Over Security Concerns
Tom Cotton's Questioning Raises Concerns About TikTok's User Data
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has come under fire for his questioning of TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew during a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
Cotton repeatedly asked Chew about TikTok's user data, including whether the Chinese government has access to it. Chew denied that the Chinese government has access to TikTok's user data, but Cotton remained skeptical.
Cotton's questioning has raised concerns about TikTok's security, and some experts have warned that the Chinese government could use the app to collect sensitive information on Americans. TikTok has denied these claims, but the concerns have led to increased scrutiny of the app.
The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing is part of a broader investigation into TikTok's security. The committee is expected to issue a report on its findings in the coming weeks.
