CANBERRA, Australia—The United States federal communications commission (FCC) has warned the Australian government not to trust TikTok to keep any user data it collects out of the hands of the Chinese communist regime.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said that TikTok could not be trusted to keep data safe from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and that the U.S. government’s experience with the company on data privacy was nothing short of ‘gaslighting.’
