US DOJ Alleges TikTok Shared Sensitive User Data with China

New legal filing claims TikTok used internal tools to transmit personal information, sparking national security concerns.

Department of Justice accuses TikTok of sending user data, including views on social issues, to China via an internal tool called Lark.
The filing alleges Chinese engineers had access to sensitive data stored on Chinese servers.
TikTok maintains it has never shared American user data with the Chinese government and calls the ban unconstitutional.
The legal battle includes a mandated sale of TikTok's US operations or a potential nationwide ban.
Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for September 16, with significant implications for TikTok's future in the US.
