TikTok executives: TikTok has never shared US user data with the Chinese government

(Observer's online news) On the evening of July 3 local time, TikTok executives said in an exclusive interview with CNN that TikTok was conducting data security cooperation with Oracle, and stressed that they had never shared U.S.
user data with the Chinese government to respond to some recent U.S.
politicians' concerns about TikTok's security.
"We have never and will not share information with the Chinese government.
More importantly, the data access rights of TikTok US users are managed by the US security team." Michael Beckerman, head of TikTok's American public policy, said in a TV interview that night.
CNN's exclusive interview with TikTok, the head of American public policy, Beckman, recently raised concerns about the data security of TikTok, a short video application.
Several senators sent letters to the US Treasury Department and TikTok CEO respectively, asking for clarification on the access rights of US user data and whether the Chinese government can obtain user data;
Brendan Carr, a member of the Federal Communications Commission, requested to ban TikTok and wrote a letter urging Apple and Google to kick TikTok out of the app store.
In an exclusive interview with CNN on July 3, Beckman reiterated that he had never and would not share data with the Chinese government, and denied the misunderstanding that "TikTok was used to promote Chinese content".
"Now there is a more widespread concern about whether China is using TikTok to influence the business, culture and political behavior of Americans.
Every time TikTok sees a Chinese video, it will wonder whether the algorithm is promoting Chinese content," CNN's well-known journalist Brian Stelter said in his question.
Beckman denied the above assertion, "I don't see such a phenomenon.
Although TikTok is a global app, almost all videos that American users can see are produced in the United States, which is why TikTok is so popular." In response to the moderator's question about whether TikTok will use algorithms to influence the election and promote certain candidates, Beckman said that, unlike Twitter and Facebook, TikTok is not a place to discuss politics, and political advertising is also completely prohibited.
"TikTok is an entertainment app.
At present, we are facing some trust problems, but we hope to be trusted and develop into the most transparent and trusted entertainment brand." Beckman said.
