US Federal Trade Commission could reach settlement with or sue TikTok over probe on children’s privacy, says source
The probe is separate from ongoing concerns in Congress about the potential that the data of TikTok’s 170 million US users could be improperly accessed by the Chinese government. TikTok denies the allegation and says it has robust data security provisions.
Earlier in March, the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to pass a bill giving ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, about six months to sell the US assets of the app or face a ban, citing national security concerns.
Senators are still undecided on how to proceed.
The White House had said the Senate should take “swift action”, and President Joe Biden said he would sign the bill.
In 2021, ByteDance agreed to a US$92 million class-action settlement to settle data privacy claims from some US TikTok users.
