Practically since its launch, the Tik Tok platform has become a mass success. This platform allows users create videos of up to 60 seconds and the most used among the youngest. In the United States it has practically become a social phenomenon and since its origin is Asian, the government wants to investigate.
The problems of Huawei spy course, come from the Obama mandate, who was the one who began to look suspiciously at the growth that the company was having but did not adopt any measures. Trump, current president of the United States, has China in his sights, but not only for its technology, but also for its applications, with Tik Tok being the next target.
On this occasion, we cannot speak of Donald Trump's stubbornness towards China, since the idea has come from two senators, Democrat Charles E. Schumer and Republican Tom Cotton. Both have asked the intelligence services to thoroughly study the social network Tik Tok, application that has reached 110 million downloads in the country, as it can be a potential spying threat.
Like any other social network type application, Tik Tok has at its disposal a large number of data from its users, data that could perfectly reach the Chinese government. Of course, the company states that user data is stored in the United States and not in China, so the Asian government does not have access to it at any time.
The fear of the American government is that China may put pressure on the creator of Tik Tok to allow you to access that data, pressure to call it somehow, as the company, ByteDance, would have no choice but to hang its ears and allow access.
