TikTok is “unacceptable security risk” and should be removed from app stores, says FCC

FCC commissioner Brendan Carr called on Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores. Carr cited several incidents as evidence that TikTok has been dodgy about its data collection practices. Michael Beckerman, VP, Head of Public Policy, Americas at TikTok, refuted a large chunk of the FCC’s claims.
