- Members of the US government are reportedly mulling whether to call for TikTok's US unit to be sold.Some US government officials are reportedly considering calling for TikTok's US unit to be sold in order to allay issues they've already been working for years to address with the ByteDance-owned social media app.A representative for TikTok told Insider in a statement on Monday that the company has been cooperating with the US government "for over two years to address all reasonable national security concerns about TikTok in the U.S.""We believe those concerns can be fully resolved, and CFIUS is currently considering a comprehensive solution that addresses key concerns around corporate governance, content recommendation and moderation, and data security and access," said Brooke Oberwetter, a representative for TikTok."We have made substantial progress on implementing that solution over the past year, and look forward to completing that work to put these concerns to rest," Oberwetter said.Regardless, some US officials believe that concerns about data security and potential propaganda directed at US users of the app would be better addressed by a possible sale of TikTok's US unit, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the talks."
