TikTok to remove executive tasked with fending off U.S. claims, Bloomberg says

TikTok is preparing to remove a key executive responsible for convincing the U.S. government that the company was doing enough to stave off national security concerns about its connections to China, according to people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs, Kurt Wagner, and Alex Barinka report. Erich Andersen has led years-long talks with the American government meant to show that the app was doing enough to prevent China from accessing U.S. users’ data or influencing what they see on their feeds. The company is planning for Andersen to exit his current role, according to the people.
