Mkurugenzi wa FBI, Chris Wray amesema mtandao wa kijamii wa China TikTok umeanza kuwatia "wasiwasi wa kuhusu usalama wa taifa la Marekani.
Akizungumza katika hafla katika Chuo Kikuu cha Michigan, Wray alionesha wasiwasi kwamba Serikali ya China inaweza kutumia data zilizokusanywa kupitia TikTok kwa watumiaji kwa "shughuli za jadi za ujasusi."
"Sisi, FBI tuna wasiwasi kuhusu usalama wa kitaifa juu ya TikTok. Kampuni mama yake inadhibitiwa na serikali ya Uchina hivyo inawapa uwezo wa kutumia programu hiyo kwa njia ambazo nadhani zinatuhusu," alisema.

TikTok responded by saying it does not store US user data in China, where the law allows the government to force companies to hand over internal information.
