It has been uncovered that employees at TikTok have had unrestricted access to the contact lists of high-profile individuals. Unprecedented access has raised serious national security risks and has compromised the privacy of some of the world's most influential individuals.
Insiders familiar with the situation have exposed the existence of social mapping tools used by TikTok, which enable extensive monitoring of users and their social networks.
The lack of controls and the ease of access to such intimate data by employees have sparked concerns about potential misuse. Experts argue that TikTok's Chinese ownership magnifies the threat, as sensitive data could potentially be accessed by intelligence agents.
Approximately 150 million Americans use TikTok, making it a pivotal platform for political campaigns, businesses, artists, and activists. National security experts emphasize the urgent need for restrictions on these tools and their vigilant monitoring to prevent personal or political agendas from being pursued.
