TikTok CEO Thanks Trump for Commitment to Keep App Available Amid Supreme Court Ban Threat
Jan 17, 2025, 06:39 PM
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew has expressed gratitude to President-elect Donald Trump for his commitment to finding a solution that would allow the app to remain available in the United States. This comes after the Supreme Court upheld a law that could lead to a ban on TikTok starting Sunday, unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divests its stake. Chew emphasized the importance of TikTok as a platform for free speech for its over 170 million American users. He highlighted Trump's understanding of the platform, noting that the president-elect has used TikTok to connect with audiences, amassing over 60 billion views. The Biden administration has decided not to enforce the ban, leaving the decision to Trump, who is set to be inaugurated on Monday. Chew is expected to attend the inauguration, signaling ongoing discussions between TikTok and the incoming administration.
