FBI Director Chris Wray raised national security concerns about TikTok on Friday, warning that the Chinese-owned social media app could be used for espionage operations, AP News reported. He added that China could collect users' data for traditional espionage operations, the news agency reported. TikTok said in June that it started routing American users' data via US-based servers owned by Oracle, per The Verge. However, BuzzFeed News reported that US user data was still being repeatedly accessed from China.
