TikTok 'absolutely not' a U.S. security risk, says executive

Season 2020 Episode 251 | 5m 40s

The social media giant TikTok has sued the U.S. government for threatening to ban the company from the country. The Trump administration’s targeting of the video-sharing platform is part of a larger effort to confront what the U.S. says are national security threats posed by Chinese technology. Nick Schifrin reports and talks to TikTok’s chief security officer, Roland Cloutier.
