But it is not the first time that in the United States, the application, owned by the Chinese technology giant ByteDance, has been denounced, because Senior officials have claimed that the platform is a spy and propaganda tool of the Chinese regime.

This was stated by Pompeo on his Twitter account: “TikTok is in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. If your kids are on it, the Chinese government likely has your social security number, privacy details, your photos, and more.
