.TikTok_US CEO to testify before Congress as the platform faces the threat of a ban
On March 23, TikTok's Shou Zi Chew is set to speak before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The House is considering multiple pieces of legislation to ban TikTok. Congress recently banned the installation of TikTok on government devices. Meanwhile, the company is in negotiations with the Biden administration to overhaul its practices to ensure data safety while operating in the United States and avoid regulatory restrictions.
"ByteDance-owned TikTok has knowingly allowed the ability for the Chinese Communist Party to access American user data," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers , the committee's chairwoman, said in a statement on Monday."Americans deserve to know how these actions impact their privacy and data security, as well as what actions TikTok is taking to keep our kids safe from online and offline harms.
While Chew was appointed to help assuage concerns about Chinese parent company ByteDance, recent reports imply that the CEO does not have the decision-making power that most CEOs do. Decisions about the company's strategy were regularly made by ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming, according to former employees.House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said on Friday that he would host a panel vote on legislation to ban TikTok from the U.S. in the next month.
