United States President Joe Biden signed the bill to ban TikTok across the country the other day . This decision was talked about a lot in the technology world. While it was wondering what step the social media giant would take, the first statement came from TikTok CEO.
Statement from TikTok CEO about the bill
The USA is concerned that the data of US users of TikTok , owned by China -based ByteDance, has been accessed by the Chinese government. For this reason, the House of Representatives voted to ban TikTok, and the majority voted “yes”. The bill, which progressed as a result of this vote, was approved by the Senate and finally became official and came into force with the signature of President Joe Biden.
According to the bill , if ByteDance does not want TikTok to be banned, it must sell the application to a US-based company. The company was given a period of 9 months for this. Today, the first statement came from TikTok CEO.
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew recently stated that ByteDance is continuing their legal fight to block the law signed by President Joe Biden. Chew said: “Rest assured, we are not going anywhere. “The facts and the Constitution are on our side, and we expect to prevail again.” He included his words.
TikTok has 170 million US users. Among these, there are people who earn a serious income as content producers. In this context, banning the social media platform in the country is a very serious situation. The administration is divided on the ban. On the public side, the majority is against this ban. We will see together what will happen in the coming months.
