TikTok CEO, Shou Zi Chew is set to testify in a U.S. congressional hearing defending the app against national security concerns. TikTok has been criticized for being a potential risk of data sharing with the Chinese government as it has become a target for a ban in the country. However, Chew has stated that TikTok has never shared or received a request to share US user data with the Chinese government. He also argued that banning the app would not be a solution, as TikTok has already spent more than $1.5bn on rigorous data security efforts.
