TikTok on Friday denied that it used specific location data to track certain U.S. individuals.
The monitoring is carried out by TikTok parent ByteDance's Internal Audit and Risk Control department whose leader reports directly to the CEO.
TikTok said Forbes"chose not to include the portion of our statement that disproved the feasibility of its core allegation: TikTok does not collect precise GPS location information from US users, meaning TikTok could not monitor US users in the way the article suggested." 3/ TikTok has never been used to "target" any members of the U.S. government, activists, public figures or journalists, nor do we serve them a different content experience than other users.A Forbes spokesperson said:"We are confident in our sourcing, and we stand by our reporting."
