Microsoft added that it would continue negotiations with ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company, with the intention of “completing these discussions no later than Sept 15, 2020.” Pompeo said the data that companies like TikTok are gleaning about Americans “could be their facial recognition pattern; it could be information about their residence, their phone numbers, their friends, who they’re connected to.”

“We agree there needs to be a change — force a sale or block the app. Everybody agrees it can’t exist as it does,” Mnuchin said.TikTok denies that it could be a tool for Chinese intelligence, with its US General Manager Vanessa Pappas declaring Saturday, “We’re not planning on going anywhere.”“The US would be the biggest loser if it banned TikTok,” Daniel Castro, vice president of the think tank Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, said Saturday.

His threat has caused great concern for US TikTok users, particularly content creators who make money on the platform.
