American demands for Apple and Google to remove “Tik Tok” from their application stores

US Communications Commission spokesman Brendan Carr has urged Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their online app stores.

On the subject, the spokesperson said: "I have asked Apple and Google to remove Tik Tok from their online app stores due to this app's data collection practices."

According to the official, "Tik Tok collects several sensitive data related to users and their devices, such as Internet search and browsing history, keyboard pressure patterns, biometric data, and message drafts."

And the WION news channel had previously indicated that “leaks obtained by the media indicated that data for some American accounts on Tik Tok had been leaked to the Chinese company Tik Tok.”

For their part, TikTok spokesmen said, “All information related to users of the application from the United States is sent to the servers of the American company Oracle,” and indicated that “they will try to reduce the number of engineers in China, who can access confidential data in the application.” .

It is reported that in 2021, US President Joe Biden canceled the order previously issued by Donald Trump, whose purpose was to ban the applications of the "Tik Tok" and WeChat platforms in the United States.
