That should concern us,\u201d Wray told an audience at the University of Michigan\u2019s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.<\/p>\n<p>Those concerns are similar to ones he raised during congressional appearances last month when the issue came up. And they&#8217;re being voiced during ongoing dialogue in Washington about the app.<\/p>\n<p>Concerned about China\u2019s influence over TikTok, the Trump administration in 2020 threatened to ban the app within the U.S. and pressured ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. company. U.S. officials and the company are now in talks over a possible agreement that would resolve American security concerns, a process that Wray said was taking place across U.S. government agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Director Wray has previously said, the FBI\u2019s input is being considered as part of our ongoing negotiations with the U.S. Government,&#8221; TikTok spokesperson Brooke Oberwetter said in an emailed statement. &#8220;While we can\u2019t comment on the specifics of those confidential discussions, we are confident that we are on a path to fully satisfy all reasonable U.S. national security concerns and have already made significant strides toward implementing those solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TikTok is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance. The TikTok statement Friday noted that ByteDance is a private company and that &#8220;TikTok Inc., which offers the TikTok service in the United States, is a U.S. company bound by U.S. laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At a Senate hearing in September, TikTok Chief Operating Officer Vanessa Pappas responded to questions from members of both parties by saying that the company protects all data from American users and that Chinese government officials have no access to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will never share data, period,\u201d Pappas said.<\/p>\n<p>____<\/p>\n<p>Follow Eric Tucker on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> at http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/etuckerAP<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
