Summary
The head of security at TikTok's Beijing-based parent company ByteDance has said it's impossible for the Chinese government to get their hands on user data from the app — contrary to the Trump administration's assertions.In an interview with Cyberscoop, conducted August 20 but published Thursday, ByteDance global chief security officer Roland Cloutier said any request from China for TikTok user data would go through the US government because TikTok's servers are based in the US.TikTok's app doesn't exist in China, so the Chinese government has no jurisdiction over it, he added."We have very specific processes when law enforcement or government agencies were to ask us for things, and because we sit in the United States, it would have to go through the US government," said Cloutier.
