The California college student suing TikTok and ByteDance also alleges her videos were used to create an online profile for targeted ads.
, filed last week in the Northern District of California by Misty Hong of Palo Alto, alleges that Culver City-based TikTok harvested her videos, gathered personally identifiable information and then transferred that information to servers in China, ByteDance’s home country. TikTok did so without her consent, her lawyers said in a filing that didn’t provide evidence to back up the allegations.ByteDance, the world’s most valuable start-up, has come under fire in recent months from U.S.
The TikTok app has taken off among U.S. teens but has become a lightning rod for criticism as tensions rise between the U.S. and China over trade and technology. One of the few Chinese internet services to catch on globally, it has been installed by about 564 million users so far this year and about 1.45 billion times since launching. New U.S. users grew 38% to 11.6 million in the third quarter, according to Sensor Tower, up from 8.4 million a year earlier.
