US spy agency cyber chief says TikTok is China's Trojan horse
Rob Joyce, the head of the US National Security Agency’s cybersecurity arm, said popular video-sharing app TikTok is China’s “Trojan horse” and poses a long-term, strategic cybersecurity concern.
Joyce said it was critical that the US government monitor TikTok’s Chinese parent ByteDance Ltd. to avoid a security incident “five, 10 or 20” years down the line, as opposed to an imminent, “tactical” threat.
