TOKYO - A change in control of the Japanese unit of TikTok, the popular video-sharing app owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, could be one way to address user data security concerns in Japan, a lawmaker from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ruling party said.
Mr Nakayama's comments come after the United States ordered ByteDance to divest the US operations of TikTok within 90 days, ramping up pressure from President Donald Trump over concerns about the safety of the personal data handled by ByteDance and other Chinese tech and media firms. He said an ownership change for TikTok owner ByteDance's local operation could be one solution, without elaborating further. Mr Nakayama stressed he was giving a personal view, and not the consensus of the group, which is led by Mr Akira Amari, an LDP heavyweight and close ally of PM Abe.ByteDance Japan officials contacted by e-mail did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
