TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew will tell lawmakers the Chinese-owned short video app with more than 150 million American users has never, and would never, share US user data with the Chinese government amid growing US national security concerns.
"TikTok has never shared, or received a request to share, US user data with the Chinese government. Nor would TikTok honor such a request if one were ever made," Chew will testify on Thursday (Mar 23), according to written testimony posted on Tuesday by the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee.
He added that TikTok's parent company ByteDance is not owned or controlled by any government or state entity. "Let me state this unequivocally: ByteDance is not an agent of China or any other country," Chew will say to the committee.

Where are the servers, you pieces of sh1t? It;s easy to say “i didn’t do that...” when you didn’t need to.
So our dance moves, pranks, and the identity of our pets are still safe?
Sometimes I think all this fulminating over TicTok has one root.
Look at the explosion of it’s use. It has grown exponentially faster, and is more popular than Instagram or twitter, and forget Facebook.
This made US tech giants angry. And Fedzilla screams into action to save America. Simple as that.
When Trump went after TikTok, didn’t the Dems defend it?
Any business in China is under the influence of the CCP
When Trump went after TikTok, didn’t the Dems defend it?
Trump has been proven right every time. Even when he came out with something that sounded far fetched and I almost wanted to slap my forehead, in the end it ended up being true.
The democrats are hypocrites without any ounce of principles.
LOL. Yes, everyone he has picked in his administration has proven right. From VP, Atty General, Sec. of State. Picking Michael Cohen as his attorney. Endorsing Romney to the hilt. Picking lefties for Supreme Court, It proved him right.
Thanks to the deep state here, we now know such assurances are meaningless. Tiktok could easily share data with a private company that then shares it with the CCP.
They did. They take the opposite of whatever Trump said.
Well! Of course they won’t admit that TikTok is a spying app.
As far as I’ve read, non China data is stored in Singaporean and USA based servers.
Define “shared”.
Yeah sure but there’s more than one server farm running to provide redundancy. There are at least 3.
Hate to prevent you from “saving face,” but you’re a liar, TT CEO. You bring shame to your family and your country with your lies. Do the honorable thing and bring an end to yourself.
It all depends on what the definition of ‘shared’ is
Certainly it is totally different than copied or taken, or analyzed.
At one time co workers would bring me hard drives and say, can you make sure these are wiped and no data can be recovered?
I would say no, but I can be pretty sure you can help too if you want.
Watch this! as I used a cheap harbor freight drill press and put a bunch of 3/8 holes through them.
Maybe something could have been recovered? Who knows
We believe them, right?
Right?
Lol.
Red herring alert.
It’s not about the data.
China’s had all our data for a long time.
You know it’s true.
TikTok is about hostile influence on our kids.
It’s about the internal mechanisms and operatives of TikTok which promote or deboost political and cultural content.
It’s about CCP psychological war on the minds of young Americans.
Did the CCP tell you to say that?
As far as I understand it, if the CCP requests the data, you have not choice.
If you don’t have the data, you can’t share it.
