According to a source familiar with the matter, TikTok has been in discussions with the UK government over the past few months to locate its headquarters in London as part of a strategy to distance itself from its Chinese ownership.

A source told Reuters that London is among one of several locations the company is considering, but no decisions have been made. It was not immediately clear what other locations are under consideration. But it has hired aggressively in California this year, including poaching Kevin Mayer to be TikTok’s chief executive. Kevin Mayer is a former Walt Disney Co. executive and is based in the United States.

TikTok is facing heavy scrutiny in Washington over suspicions that China could force the company to turn over user data. TikTok is owned by China-based ByteDance.

A former Chinese internet censor recently told The Epoch Times he was interviewed for the role of monitoring and policing videos posted by TikTok users.

He described TikTok’s parent company ByteDance as “the largest and most terrifying censorship machine” he had ever seen.
