TikTok CEO and Influencers Head to Washington D.C.
Dozens of popular TikTok influencers, as well as the CEO of the company, Shou Chew, are scheduled to appear before Congress in Washington D.C. this week. The goal of their visit is to discuss concerns about data collection on the social media platform and prevent a potential ban of the app in the United States.
On Wednesday night, a group of TikTok influencers will meet with lawmakers to discuss the platform’s features and its popularity among young people. Then on Thursday, CEO Shou Chew will testify before a House committee to address concerns about data privacy and potential national security risks.
TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, will try to convince U.S. lawmakers that they are taking the necessary steps to ensure user privacy and that they are not sharing any data with the Chinese government. However, some lawmakers remain skeptical and have proposed banning the app altogether.
The potential ban of TikTok in the United States raises questions about whether another app will take its place and if such a ban would ultimately be effective in protecting user privacy. It remains to be seen what actions Congress will take, but the upcoming hearings represent an important step towards addressing concerns about data collection and privacy on social media platforms.
