TikTok said Monday that it unveiled a website and Twitter account to counter what it called rumours in real time , adding that we neither advocate nor advocate the dissemination of disinformation on or around its network.
Let's get the record straight, the organization said on the website. TikTok isn't accessible in China. Its U.S. consumer data is processed in Virginia with a Singapore backup and stringent employee access controls. TikTok has never given any U.S. user data to the Chinese Government, nor would it have done so if asked.
The transfer came just days after the U.S. President Donald Trump has officially ordered TikTok 's Chinese owner to sell his U.S. holdings on the basis of national security issues. Microsoft has been in negotiations with ByteDance to buy the company's activities in the U.S., Canada , Australia and New Zealand with a deadline of September 15 for an deal.
