Justice Dept. claims TikTok collected views on issues like abortion and gun control
Briefly

The Justice Department accuses TikTok of gathering bulk information on users based on views on divisive social issues like gun control, abortion, and religion. Data is sent to ByteDance in China, stored on Chinese servers, and accessible to Chinese employees.
The U.S. government expresses concerns over Chinese authorities potentially influencing public opinion by accessing TikTok data. Legal battle arises as a law signed by President Biden could lead to a TikTok ban for not breaking ties with Chinese parent company ByteDance.
