Many Us Lawmakers Say Chinese-Owned Tiktok Poses Serious Security Risks to the data of Americans and have sounded the alarm about potential chinese influence over the platform used by more than 150 Million Americans. Tiktok denies any important data use and says it has spent more than $ 1.5 billion (Nearly Rs. 12,300 Crore) on data security measures.
