FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr warns China uses TikTok for espionage and blackmail towards its goal of improving artificial intelligence to 'maintain their authoritarian grip on power.'
Senior Republican and FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr discusses the Chinese Communist Party’s data harvesting practices for its ‘malign goals.’
TikTok is currently in negotiations with CFIUS after the app allegedly planned to monitor users’ physical locations. Carr says the data protections won't be secure enough regardless of what deal may be reached. "I think all of this is part of a broad set of issues, which is that Beijing is looking to use all sorts of tech and telecom means, whether it's cyber attacks, whether it's harvesting data through TikTok, to pursue their malign goals," the commissioner said.about TikTok’s data collection, Carr noted. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., told an Australian newspaper last Tuesday during a visit to the country that TikTok posed privacy and national security concerns to the American public.
TikTok employees are"dual-hatted," FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr argued, working for both the app and Beijing.
