Owned by China's ByteDance, TikTok has grown rapidly around the world, particularly among teenagers. However, a number of incidents have prompted concerns about its privacy and safety policies. “The process of making a TikTok is fun and creative — choosing music, picking effects and getting the transitions right — but it is just as important to choose who that video will be shared with,” TikTok's head of child safety public policy, Alexandra Evans, and its global head of privacy, Aruna Sharma, said in a blog post.
