Apple and Google Urged to Ban TikTok Over National Security Concerns

Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has called on Apple and Alphabet to remove the popular social media platform TikTok from their app stores over national security concerns. Bennet claims the Chinese-owned company poses a threat to the US due to its data harvesting practices, which can be accessed by Chinese intelligence work in accordance with Chinese law.


Bennet’s letter to the tech giants echoes the same sentiments expressed by an FCC commissioner in June last year. He argues that TikTok’s reach and popularity allow it to collect sensitive data from American users, including device information, search and viewing histories, IP addresses, faceprints, and voiceprints.

The US government has already taken action against TikTok’s ties to China. In December, President Joe Biden signed a bill prohibiting the use of TikTok by nearly four million government employees on devices owned by its agencies. At least 27 state governments have passed similar measures.

In response to Bennet’s letter, TikTok released a statement claiming the claims were “misleading.” The company said they had implemented Project Texas, an investment plan to provide additional assurances to their community about their data security and the platform’s integrity.

TikTok has over 100 million active users, 36 percent American, who spend over 80 minutes daily on the app — more than Facebook and Instagram combined. There is no evidence that the Chinese government has demanded user data from TikTok or its parent company or influenced the content users to see on the platform. However, in November, TikTok confirmed that China-based employees could gain remote access to European user data, and a BuzzFeed report revealed that company employees in China had access to US user data.

The US Committee on Foreign Investment is reviewing ByteDance’s 2017 merger of TikTok and Musical.ly. It may force TikTok to sell to a US company, similar to the executive order issued by former President Donald Trump in 2020 — though it was blocked by a federal court.

In 2021, TikTok agreed to pay $92 million to settle lawsuits alleging that the app clandestinely transferred vast quantities of user data on children to servers in China. To curb criticism of its data-sharing practices, TikTok has announced a partnership with Oracle to move its data on US users stored on foreign servers to Texas.

Anupam Chander, a professor of law and technology at Georgetown University, warned that banning TikTok in the US may encourage other countries to do the same to apps and services from the US and that it is unclear if anything short of a sale will satisfy TikTok’s critics. TikTok’s chief executive Shou Zi Chew will appear before a House committee in March.

Tired of bots in your cam room?

Fake traffic may look good for a moment, but it does not build real visibility, real trust, or real results. Cam sites can easily distinguish between low-quality traffic, bots, fake clicks, and real web traffic from legitimate sources.


If your room gets suspicious traffic, it can hurt your credibility instead of helping you grow.

That is why StreamCenter.ro focuses on delivering real web traffic from real sources — traffic created to boost your visibility, increase exposure, and help your cam room get noticed in a safer, more natural way.

Diva Traffic: Traffic Services Shut Down on February 20, 2026

Everything is changing in the camming industry. As a clear example, after years of being known as a traffic company—especially for promotion within the adult cams space—2026 is the year the industry says goodbye to Diva Traffic!


Behind this exit is an announcement posted by the company under the headline “Important Service Update.” Diva Traffic stated that effective February 20, 2026, it will discontinue its operations, including all traffic purchase services. The platform also noted that all previously purchased tokens must be used to activate traffic boost campaigns by that date, and that as of today, token purchases and subscriptions are no longer available.

The shutdown closes the chapter on a brand that, for some, was a useful promotional tool—and for others, a recurring source of controversy. Over time, countless rumors circulated across studios and among models, with many in the community alleging the service relied heavily on bots, fake clicks, and non-human traffic rather than real users.

Whatever side of the debate people were on, the outcome is now the same: a familiar name in cam-focused traffic services is exiting the scene, and studios and creators will need to rethink and adjust their promotion strategies moving forward.
