FCC commissioner says US should act to ban TikTok

U.S. Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr said the Council on Foreign Investment in the United States should act to ban TikTok, Axios reports. “I don’t believe there is a path forward for anything other than a ban,” Carr said, citing concerns over TikTok’s handling of U.S. users’ data and the risks of data being transferred to China. A TikTok spokesperson said the company is “confident that we are on a path to reaching an agreement with the U.S. Government that will satisfy all reasonable national security concerns.”
