TikTok’s breakneck rise from niche video-sharing app to global social media behemoth has drawn intense scrutiny, particularly over its links to China.
In Washington, the platform has been accused of espionage. The European Union suspects it was used to sway Romania’s presidential election in favour of a far-right candidate.
