There&#8217;s no doubt that the Chicoms have numerous backdoors that allow them access to personal data of Americans from any corporate entity. Any new TikTok company that bought it would be under pressure to work with China to ensure the app is legal and accessible in an oppressive state.

Corey Booker from the US Senate says (<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/technology\/3844429-booker-tiktok-working-with-us-intelligence-to-ensure-china-cannot-use-platform-for-spying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>() That US intelligence is working together with TikTok in order to stop China interfering with the app<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s two ways to approach this one,\u201d Booker told Margaret Brennan on CBS\u2019s \u201cFace the Nation.\u201d \u201cThe proactive step of banning and on government devices is something that the United States federal government is doing, states and even localities are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the other way to go about this is going directly to the company. They are now working with U.S. intelligence folks to try to make sure that the proper precautions are taken so the Chinese cannot get access and use it for spying,\u201d He went on.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>These are the times when things can go from being naive and highly suspicious. Booker, being a Chinese-owned corporation (Bytedance), I presume is intelligent enough to see that TikTok is not independent. A corporation that originated in China does not have control over itself. The possibility that US intelligence might be working with TikTok at the moment for any reason is alarming.<\/p>\n<p>Booker basically says that the US government works with the murderer in order to stop more murders. It\u2019s absurd. It&#8217;s absurd. What kind of national security assurances could such an arrangement offer?<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s Joe Biden, who just has no idea what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Reporter: &#8220;Should the U.S. ban TikTok?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden: &#8220;Ban TikTok?
