House Republicans have accused TikTok of providing âfalse or misleadingâ information to Congress about its data-sharing practices.
In a letter to TikTokâs CEO on Tuesday, Representatives James Comer (R-Ky.) and Kathy McMorris-Rodgers (R-Wash.) said they still have âunanswered questionsâ following a briefing the company gave to lawmakers back in September.
âBoth claims appear to be misleading at best, and at worst, false,â the lawmakers wrote.Â
The two notably alleged that TikTok was dishonest in the briefing about not tracking users as well as stating whether or not China-based employees have access to U.S. usersâ data.
Comer and McMorris-Rodgers are demanding that the company provide documents on its data-sharing practices and other information related to DTO national security concerns by December 6th.
