“We take it very seriously and will certainly consider it,” Pompeo told Fox News.

So he answered the question of the TV presenter about whether the US authorities after India can ban the work of Chinese social networks, including TikTok.

“As for the Chinese applications installed on people's mobile phones, I can assure you that the United States will do everything right,” said Pompeo.

He stated that he would recommend using this application only if people want their personal data to be "in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party."

Earlier it was reported that the European Data Protection Committee will verify the work of TikTok.
