(Washington Composite Electric), Christeve Lei Lei, director of the FBI, reiterated that the bureau was worried about the national security threat of Chinese video application Tiktok.

TIKTOK determines which videos will users see next.Recommended algorithms can also be used to affect operations.
The U.S. government is considering a plan that allows Tiktok to continue in the United States, but Christopher Lei said that Chinese companies must basically do anything that Chinese government wants them to do, which is noticeable.
He said at the hearing: "In simple terms, according to Chinese law, Chinese companies must basically act in accordance with the Chinese government, whether it is sharing information or a tool for Chinese government.There are enough reasons to attract great attention. "
Former US President Trump has repeatedly accused Tiktok of passing the information of American users to the Chinese government, causing serious network security risks.U.S. Overseas Investment Council (CFIUS) required byte beating to strip Tiktok in August 2020 on the grounds of protecting US user data.
After Bayeng came to power, the command was not executed, but CFIUS still paid attention to the security concerns of Tiktok's data, fearing that American user data would fall into the official hands of Chinese officials.
