TikTok has restarted its efforts to negotiate with the government on whether it will be allowed to continue operations in the United States or be banned over its connections to China.
Teams from TikTok parent company ByteDance and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States met at the Treasury Department to restart negotiations last week, according to the Washington Post. There's little evidence that CFIUS, an oversight agency regulating how foreign companies operate within the U.S., has changed its stance.
National security experts have raised the fear that the Chinese Communist Party could use national security laws to acquire ByteDance's data on the U.S. for its surveillance purposes. Sens. John Thune and Mark Warner introduced the RESTRICT Act, which would give the Commerce Department additional powers to regulate tech business deals related to nations of concern, such as China or Iran. Sens. Marco Rubio and Josh Hawley have proposed outright bans on TikTok. Sen. Tim Scott introduced legislation forcing apps such as TikTok to show users their country of origin.
