TikTok representative said: “ TikTok is led by an American CEO, with hundreds of employees, leaders who always follow the rules of security, products and public policies in this country. Our ultimate goal is to create an environment, a safe experience for users. We have never and will never give their data to the Chinese government, even if they ask us to. “Although not operating in China, TikTok is still considered a session. international version of Douyin – the application is storming in the most populous country in the world.
