TikTok, the widely used social media platform, is <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/tiktok-routinely-sent-us-data-to-china-claims-report-company-reacts-5461684" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">accused</a> of transferring users’ personal information to its ultimate owner, China. Former employees claimed that TikTok continued to operate under a profit-driven model separate from the Chinese Communist Party, despite attempts to distance itself from its parent company, Bytedance.&nbsp; 
The information reportedly included the users’ personal data including their names, emails, demographics, and locations, according to the report. Regarding the allegations, TikTok firmly denied them, stating that all data on US users has been isolated since January 2023, with close monitoring by the US Data Security team.&nbsp;
