Recastled CEO Kosha Gada says there are many layers to issues governments have with the popular social media app TikTok – which is owned by a review-7-days-loan-chinese-loan-app-top-3-fake-loan-app-list-fake-loan-review/">Chinese company and can have data accessed by the Communist Party.
“One of them is sovereignty and just going back to that strategy of how to counter Chinese aggression, this is absolutely a part of it,” she told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“Australia led the way with Huawei, you saw how Prime Minister Modi banned TikTok and 50 other apps just in the last quarter, so I think that’s definitely part of it.”
Ms Gada said American-owned companies like Alphabet and Meta are also known to harvest user’s data and are not faced with potentially being banned in Australia, as the Liberal Party may do to TikTok.
“I think that issue is going to require broader debate but I think this is a good first step if something happens, to counter TikTok and other Chinese apps as they come into play in Australia,” she said.
