The head of TikTok was called to testify on Capitol Hill in a surprise announcement on Monday amid serious allegations about data mining by the Chinese social media app.
"My concerns on TikTok are twofold: one, the amount of data being collected disproportionally about our kids. And while TikTok has said time and again, ‘Oh, nobody in China has access to that data,' that is just not the case," says Sen. Warner.
Peter Shankman, a technology expert at BluShark Digital, tells FOX 5 he's so concerned about China mining data off smartphones that he no longer has the TikTok app on his personal phone.Retired FBI agent and podcast host Darren Mott has a breakdown on the cyber risks associated with TikTok. "There are simply too many unknowns with TikTok to keep it on my phone," he says. "I use it on a safe phone throwaway that I have that’s not connected to anything. It doesn’t go on my Wi-Fi network. I have it so I can examine it but for me? To keep it on the main phone that I use 24/7, there are too many privacy issues."
