A House lawmaker has suggested that investors in the US-based company ByteDance should urge China to allow the sale of TikTok. This recommendation comes amidst ongoing concerns about the popular social media app's ties to China and potential national security risks.
ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, has faced scrutiny from US lawmakers over data privacy and security issues. The Trump administration had previously sought to ban TikTok in the US, citing national security concerns related to the app's Chinese ownership.
