TikTok is run out of the United States and adheres to the same laws as Twitter and Facebook. Its CEO, Shou Chew, was just at a hearing in front of Congress last month.

TikTok also claimed the data couldn’t be viewed in China and then it got exposed that the data was being viewed in China by bytedance.

Sooooooo no it doesn’t follow the same laws an its singaporean ceos claim of no links to China are his word only.

As an example, do you think a US citizen personal data is as secure from requests from the CCP in e.g. Facebook as it is in Tiktok? That TikTok executives are as liable to US laws and prosecution as Facebook execs?

>That TikTok executives are as liable to US laws and prosecution as Facebook execs?

They absolutely are - again, TikTok is an American company with American employees who can be held liable if TikTok breaks the law - e.g. Shou Chew. The problem for the government is that TikTok hasn't broken any laws.
