SEATTLE, WA - From security concerns to potential bans, many advertisers are hesitant to invest in TikTok. Despite concerns over data privacy, the app is working to build trust with advertisers by being transparent and responsive to their needs. TikTok aimed to dispel the myth that it is spyware and has been meeting with marketers since the congressional hearing to address 16 myths about the app's ties to the Chinese government.

The document covered the following topics:

  • Ownership
  • Ties to the Chinese government
  • Content
  • Data use (or abuse)
  • Surveillance


TikTok execs are taking steps to change the narrative around the business, but marketers still have unanswered questions.
