Both Democrats and Republicans are concerned about the possibility of the Chinese government compelling the company to share user data with them.

TokTok has been under scrutiny for its data practices and its relationship with the Chinese government. The United States and other countries have raised concerns over China’s security laws that require companies to share data with the government if requested. TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, has repeatedly denied sharing user data with the Chinese government.
During the hearing, members of Congress pressed Chew and other tech executives about their companies’ handling of user data, and how they are working to protect user privacy. Chew told lawmakers that the company values user privacy and is committed to improving its practices.
“We are committed to earning the trust of our users, partners, and regulators in the US and globally by providing a secure app experience that is governed by US laws and by our transparency and robust data practices,” Chew said.
