FCC 專員 Brendan Carr 在 Twitter 公開呼籲蘋果和 Google 封鎖 TikTok,將應用從其 App Store 及 Google Play 下架。
Brendan Carr 表示,TikTok 不只是一款線上影片應用,這只是「外衣」背後藏著將敏感數據傳送到北京。
他指出 TikTok 不止讓用戶看一些跳舞影片,它更收集了用戶的搜尋、瀏覽紀錄、生物特徵、未發佈的草稿等等,儲存在系統剪貼簿(Clipboard)的文字、圖像以至影片。
TikTok is not just another video app.

That’s the sheep’s clothing.
It harvests swaths of sensitive data that new reports show are being accessed in Beijing.
I’ve called on @Apple & @Google to remove TikTok from their app stores for its pattern of surreptitious data practices. pic.twitter.com/Le01fBpNjn
