TP-Link Probed for Allegedly Allowing Beijing Access to US Consumer Data

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into a China-founded network equipment maker over potential violations of state law, alleging that the company may have shared consumer data with China’s communist regime.

Paxton announced the investigation against TP-Link Systems on Oct. 6. His office explained that the inquiry will look into whether the California-headquartered company, a spin-off from China’s TP-Link located in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, has “misled consumers about the degree of its independence from the Chinese.”
