TikTok新任CEO凯文·梅耶尔回应“TikTok在印度被禁“一事

印度当局在上个月中印边境发生冲突后，禁止了TikTok和其他几十款中国移动应用。TikTok的新任首席执行官凯文·梅耶尔回应称，中国当局从未要求TikTok提供印度用户的数据，即使有，公司也不会提供。“我们用户的隐私，以及印度的安全和主权，对我们来说是最重要的。”梅耶尔在发给印度官员的一封信中说道。他还在信中表示，印度用户的数据位于新加坡服务器中，公司还计划在印度也建立一个数据中心。他说，该公司在全球各地都有办事处和客户，而且TikTok也并没有在中国市场推出。

TikTok, a popular short-video app, sought to distance itself from Beijing after India banned it and dozens of other Chinese mobile apps in retaliation for a deadly border clash last month. In response to the ban, which was given on cybersecurity grounds, new TikTok Chief Executive Kevin Mayer said Chinese authorities had never requested the data of their Indian users, and even if they had, the company wouldn’t comply. “The privacy of our users, and the security and sovereignty of India, are of utmost importance to us,” Mr. Mayer said in a letter sent to Indian officials and viewed by The Wall Street Journal. Beijing-based Bytedance Ltd. owns TikTok. Mr. Mayer, an American who took the reins on June 1, was poached from Disney to take charge of Bytedance’s global expansion. Industry watchers say he could boost Bytedance’s recent efforts to distance itself—and TikTok specifically—from its Chinese roots. In the letter, Mr. Mayer said Indian users’ data is located in servers in Singapore, and the company plans to build a data center in India as well. He said the company has offices and customers around the world and that TikTok isn’t available in the Chinese market.  source
