On 16 December 2022, CIA Director William Burns said that Beijing can "insist upon extracting the private data of a lot of TikTok users in this country and also to shape the content of what goes on to TikTok as well to suit the interests of the Chinese leadership." "I think those are real challenges and a source of real concern," Burns told PBS. He declined to take a position on Congressional efforts to limit TikTok.
Earlier, US courts had blocked former President Donald Trump's efforts to ban TikTok from US smartphone app stores.

Won't extend 'sell or shut' deadline for TikTok: Trump

US President Donald Trump has said that the deadline set for Chinese company ByteDance to sell its popular short-video app TikTok's US assets would not be extended.
