TikTok CEO to Testify in Congressional Hearing

TikTok’s CEO Shou Zi Chew will testify in a Congressional hearing set to take place on March 23. The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee announced the committee appearance via press release.

Focus on TikTok’s Privacy and Data Security Practices

The hearing will be centered on “TikTok’s consumer privacy and data security practices, the platforms’ impact on kids, and their relationship with the Chinese Communist Party,” the release states. TikTok’s ties to its China-based parent company, Bytedance, has received mounting scrutiny in recent years.

TikTok’s Response to Concerns

To help alleviate concerns from lawmakers regarding its U.S. users’ safety, TikTok partnered with Oracle in order to route U.S. traffic through the U.S.-based company’s servers. The company has sent representatives to testify in previous hearings, but this will mark the CEO’s first appearance.
