In March, TikTok CEO will testify before a congressional committee
TikTok has been having some hard time due to privacy problems over the USA for a while now.
Tiktok testified before the court last month. The company, which came to the fore for reasons such as security issues and user data sharing, is still dealing with the same problems. On March 23, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew will appear before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Chow will talk about the app's data security and privacy features, its impact on children, and ties to China (the parent company ByteDance has its headquarters in China).

The committee stated that this will be Chew's first appearance in front of a congressional panel. In September, lawmakers posed questions of a similar nature to TikTok COO Vanessa Pappas.
Committee chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers stated in a statement that "ByteDance-owned TikTok has knowingly allowed the ability for the Chinese Communist Party to access American user data." Americans ought to be informed about the measures TikTok is taking to safeguard our children from harm both online and offline, as well as how these actions affect their privacy and data security. With TikTok, we have made our concerns clear. It is now time for the committee to continue its efforts to hold Big Tech accountable by bringing TikTok before the committee so that it can provide people with complete and sincere responses.
