Gov. Glenn Youngkin is concerned that several Virginia school divisions — including three of the state’s largest — are using a Chinese-owned tutoring platform associated with TikTok’s parent company.

“The governor is concerned about the company having access to Virginians’ data unknowingly and has asked” the Virginia Department of Education” for information regarding the use of Tutor.com in Virginia school divisions,” said Youngkin spokesman Christian Martinez.
