Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines issued a warning to parents about the risks to children posed by social media app TikTok, which is owned by a Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked company based in Beijing.

Haines told NBC News on Sunday that the Chinese regime is “extraordinary” in how it collects “foreign data,” posing national security and privacy risks.
