Beijing-based ByteDance Technology Co., the company that acquired video-sharing app TikTok, is ramping up efforts to separate its app from much of its Chinese operations amid a probe by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
Unnamed sources told Reuters that ByteDance is trying to provide assurances to the committee that the personal data held by TikTok is stored securely in the United States and will not be compromised by the Chinese communist regime. The app is massively popular in the United States, especially among youth.
