TechCongressman says TikTok backed out of meeting to avoid child safety questions

House Select Committee on China Chair John Moolenaar says TikTok withdrew from a public roundtable planned for this month. The company had agreed to send its chief security officer to answer questions about Chinese government access to Americans’ data, the algorithm and child safety, but then cited a desire to avoid broader scrutiny of its child safety practices. The committee will try to reschedule.
