TikTok faces imminent removal from app stores

The FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr called on Apple and Google to remove TikTok from the app store on June 29, citing its secret data collection. Carr tweeted: “I’ve called on Apple & Google to remove TikTok from their app stores for its pattern of surreptitious data practices.” And he said that TikTok is not just another video app. “That’s the sheep’s clothing.” He stated that it harvests swaths of sensitive data that new reports show are being accessed in Beijing. “It collects search and browsing histories, keystroke patterns, biometric identifiers, draft messages and metadata, plus it has collected the text, images, and videos that are stored on a device’s clipboard.” Carr also quoted a report from BuzzFeed News. The report states that recordings from TikTok employees prove that engineers from Communist China can access U.S. data from September 2021 to January 2022
