The ongoing battle between the United States and TikTok continues as the Department of Justice has alleged that the video-based company has shipped personal information to China. This all comes from a new filing that has emerged while the duo are engaged in a major disagreement that would see the app’s parent company ByteDance having to force a sale of the platform’s US-based operations. They say this has resulted in “certain sensitive U.S. person data being contained in Lark channels and, therefore, stored on Chinese servers and accessible to ByteDance employees located in China.”
