TikTok CEO, Shou Chew, responds to the platform's potential ban in the US.
This week, US President Biden signed a ‘TikTok ban bill’ into law.
This bill requires ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, to sell the platform to a new (likely USA based) owner within nine months (or a year, if Biden invokes a 90-day extension) or else face a nationwide ban in the U.S.
Citing freedom of speech as the company's key argument against the ban, CEO, Shou Chew, has posted a video on the platform responding to the bill and declared that they will be fighting it in court. Here's what he had to say:
TikTok has been an incredible client and a partner for over 6 years, so we're committed to monitoring the position closely and providing guidance to both our clients and the industry.
