TikTok CEO Thanks Trump for Commitment to Keep App Available for 170 Million U.S. Users Amid Supreme Court Upholding Ban on ByteDance
Jan 17, 2025, 06:48 PM
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew expressed gratitude to President-elect Donald Trump for his commitment to finding a solution to keep the app available in the United States following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold a law that could ban TikTok. In a video message posted on TikTok, Chew thanked Trump for supporting the company's efforts to remain accessible to over 170 million U.S. users, emphasizing Trump's understanding of the platform and his use of it to generate over 60 billion views. The Supreme Court's unanimous ruling supports a law that requires TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to divest its U.S. operations or face a ban effective January 19. Trump has indicated that he will review the situation before making a decision on the app's future, leaving open the possibility of intervention to prevent the ban, which Chew argued is a stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship.
