TikTok Chief Executive Shou Chew said the video-sharing platform is taking greater steps to keep user data secure and that it needs to invest more in protecting young people from getting exposed to harmful content.
“We have very rigorous data-access protocols,” he said at the New York Times’s Dealbook Summit in New York on Wednesday, adding that TikTok, a unit of Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd., chose Oracle Corp. ORCL, +2.70% as its cloud-infrastructure provider because the company has strong security controls.
