After ban in India, difficulties increased for TikTok in US, Apple and Google were asked to remove the app

New Delhi. Senator Michael Bennett, a Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said in a letter that TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance, should be removed from the app stores run by Apple Inc and Alphabet’s Google. Because the short video social media app poses a risk to national security. This information has been received from the news agency Reuters.

This app has already been banned by Congress on Federal Government devices. However, now its criticism has increased more. Because, the government is worried that the Chinese government can use this app to collect data of Americans and advance Chinese interests.

Letter has been written to the CEO of Apple and Google
In the letter, Bennett wrote to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple CEO Tim Cook that no company under the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) has the right to collect such extensive data on the American people or to collect data that is close to our population. One third should not have the power to curate.

He has further written that in view of these risks, I urge you to immediately remove Tiktok from your respective app stores.

In the House, which is now Republican-held, the Foreign Affairs Committee plans to vote this month on a bill aimed at curbing the use of TikTok in the United States, the committee has confirmed.
