TikTok's Owner Under DOJ Investigation for Possible Spying on US Journalists.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating the possible surveillance of US journalists by ByteDance, the Beijing-based company that owns the social media app TikTok. The investigation began last year after the company acknowledged that some of its employees had wrongfully accessed the data of several journalists who cover the tech industry in order to try and track down their sources. The news comes as the Biden Administration is under increasing pressure to address the potential security threats presented by TikTok.
