A top FCC official wants Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores.

In a letter posted to Twitter, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr claimed the popular video app is secretly harvesting "sensitive data" that is "being accessed in Beijing".

TikTok is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance and has faced heavy scrutiny from U.S. regulators.

How concerned are you about protecting your data online? What would be the reaction if TikTok was banned in the U.S.?
