TikTok's CEO Shou Chew reacted to the 'disappointing vote' by the House of Representatives, vowing to fight the potential ban of the Chinese-owned social media company in the U.S.
TikTok's CEO Shou Chew reacted to the "disappointing vote" by the House of Representatives that passed on Wednesday that could pave the way for the social media platform to be banned in U.S. app stores. "This legislation, if signed into law, will lead to a ban of TikTok in the United States," Chew said in a video posted on the TikTok Policy's X platform. "Even the bill sponsors admit that that's their goal.
He encouraged users to continue contacting senators and make their "voices heard." "I encourage you to keep sharing your stories, share them with your friends, share them with a family, share them with the senators, protect your constitutional rights, make your voices heard," Shou said. "Love you all." The TikTok CEO's comments came after the House of Representatives passed the bill 352-65, with one abstention.
