Due to worries about China's data security, a senior U.S. Federal Communications Commission official claimed he had requested Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores. So can TikTok face another legal battle?
ByteDance, a Chinese business that came under attention in the U.S. under President Donald Trump, is the owner of the popular short video app.
According to some reports, TikTok may access text, images, and videos that are kept on a device's clipboard in addition to tracking a variety of data inputs like search and browser history, keyboard patterns, biometric identifiers, draft messages, and other metadata.
Tiktok has constantly refuted these accusations.
TikTok stated earlier this month that it had begun sending data from American users to Oracle-owned servers in the United States. However, the Commissioner contends that this offers no defense against data access in Beijing.
What can happen next?
I anticipate that TikTok will try to refute the report that led to the Commissioner's request. If it doesn't succeed, it appears probable that Apple and Google will probably remove the app from their stores, at least in the U.S.
However, this reflects an allegory for the degree of risk enterprises are currently facing and will continue to face as long as diverse types of entities continue to use digital connectivity for their purposes.
Of course, soon, corporate users will need to find a method to persuade staff members to stop using TikTok on company-issued devices. At the same time, MDM and security companies investigate ways to isolate the app from any sensitive data stored on a dual-use computer for work and personal usage.
