TikTok CEO's Congressional Testimony Amid US-China Tensions.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew will testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday, addressing concerns about the platform's consumer privacy and data security practices, its impact on kids, and its relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. Chew is expected to issue broad promises to protect US user data, keep teens safe, and remain free from any government influence. Some lawmakers are renewing calls for the app to be banned in the United States due to perceived national security concerns because of its ties to China through its parent company, ByteDance.
