Brendan Carr, comisar al FCC, cere lui Google si Apple sa scoata aplicatia TikTok din magazinele sale virtuale.
Conform unui nou raport, angajatii firmei mama a TikTok – ByteDance – au accesat datele utilizatorilor.
TikTok is not just another video app. That’s the sheep’s clothing. It harvests swaths of sensitive data that new reports show are being accessed in Beijing,
a scris Carr pe contul lui de Twitter si a atasat scrisorile pe care le-a trimis lui Tim Cook de la Apple si Sundar Pichai de la Google.
Acesta face referire la articolul aparut in BuzzFeed News, conform caruia a avut loc un leak de 80 de fisiere audio din sedinte interne ale ByteDance, care confirma faptul ca angajatii au accesat informatii non-publice despre utilizatorii TikTok din SUA intre septembrie 2021 si ianuarie 2022.

I’ve called on @Apple & @Google to remove TikTok from their app stores for its pattern of surreptitious data practices. pic.twitter.com/Le01fBpNjn
