The revelation is an embarrassment for TikTok, which has spent much of 2020 maintaining that it is separate to its Chinese owner ByteDance, and fending off unproven insinuations by President Trump that it funnels user data to China. After being approached by Business Insider, TikTok said it would no longer store job applicant data in China.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
