In a new attack on one of the biggest tech companies in the world, the Justice Department charged ON late Friday that TikTok had been using its platform to collect user data in bulk based on opinions on contentious social issues like abortion, gun control, and religion.
According to The Associated Press, in documents submitted to the federal appeals court in Washington, US attorneys stated that TikTok and its parent company ByteDance, located in Beijing, communicated with ByteDance developers in China directly over an internal web suite system called Lark.
