There is momentum in the US to ban the popular video app. But TikTok says it is taking actions to address security concerns. TikTok's chief executive, Shou Zi Chew, told US lawmakers on Thursday the app's China-based parent company, ByteDance, would not be manipulated by any government. He was testifying before Congress, trying to sway lawmakers not to ban the short video app or force its sale to new owners.
