TikTok’s American leadership is exploring a potential split with Chinese parent company ByteDance as it comes under increasing scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators about the company’s links to the Chinese government, according to Bloomberg, though the move remains far from certain and would require Beijing’s approval. TikTok is in legal limbo with the U.S. as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States conducts a security review, which has reportedly thus far not assuaged regulators’ concerns about ByteDance’s connections with the Chinese Communist Party and the safety of Americans’ data.
