Schumer and Cotton suggested that TikTok's owner ByteDance could be forced to share user information with Chinese intelligence.

它还可以提供北京的间谍一个后门进入用户的智能手机和电脑,类似指控中国电信巨头华为。

中国法律可能会迫使该公司“支持和配合情报工作由中国共产党控制的,”他们说。他们指出,TikTok从用户收集大量个人数据,使之成为一个安全风险。

在全球有5亿用户,TikTok人气激增,过去的两年里,提供一个平台来生产和发布music-synced视频到60秒长。

参议员们也警告说,它可能被用来影响选民在明年的选举中以同样的方式俄罗斯操纵美国社交媒体在2016年的竞选。

”的问题也提出了关于潜在的审查或操纵某些内容,”他们说。

“据说TikTok审查材料被认为具有政治敏感性的中国共产党,包括内容与香港最近的抗议,以及对天安门广场的引用,西藏和台湾独立,和维吾尔人的治疗。”They acknowledged that the app does not operate in China, where ByteDance offers the similar but separate DouYin app, and that TikTok's用户数据存储在美国。

然而,他们说,“ByteDance仍然需要遵守中国的法律。”
