FBI director says China could use TikTok to control data on millions of Americans

The Chinese government could use the Chinese-owned video app TikTok to control data on millions of US users, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray said on Wednesday.

Wray made the comment at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on worldwide threats to US  security.

The White House backed legislation introduced on Tuesday by a dozen senators to give the Biden administration new powers to ban TikTok and other foreign-based technologies if they pose national security threats.
