TikTok Calls for All Social Platforms to Unveil Their Algorithms to Regulators

The company’s letter to House members sought to clear up misconceptions, mainly regarding China

TikTok is not a participant in the House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee hearing taking place Wednesday afternoon, but it might as well have set up a virtual table in front of the U.S. Capitol.

Vice president and head of U.S. public policy Michael Beckerman sent a letter (embedded below) Wednesday morning to Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) looking to clear up misconceptions about TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, which the company claims is headquartered in the Cayman Islands, and not China.
