TikTok's security boss makes his case. Carefully
- nnx 6y agoInteresting that the company says it has never received a data request from China... and plenty from US authorities (similarly to other social networks)
- mytailorisrich 6y agoI think there is a psychosis, partly created by some interests, that the Chinese government has nothing else to do but to spy on every random person that lives on the other side of the globe from them. Effectively Tiktok is 'overseas' only from a Chinese perspective, so they would first need to have an interest in a person that lives abroad. I'm sure that there are such people, but then they probably are smart enough not to just make a formal request to Tiktok about it. And of course I think some people vastly overestimate (perhaps sometimes disingenuously) the amount of 'interesting' information Tiktok might have in that regards.
