TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew thanked President-elect Trump for his efforts to save the app in the U.S., as a January 19 deadline looms for ByteDance to sell or shut it down.
TikTok's CEO, Shou Zi Chew, expressed gratitude to President-elect Donald Trump on the eve of a potential nationwide ban, which could see the app either shut down or sold by its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, by January 19. In a video message, Chew thanked Trump for his efforts to find a solution to keep TikTok active in the U.S. amid legal challenges.
Chew addressed the 170 million Americans who use the platform daily, emphasizing TikTok's role in allowing users to connect, create, and discover. "We are fighting to protect the constitutional right to free speech for those millions of users," Chew said.
TikTok has become a vital space for creators, small businesses, and individuals across the country, but its future in the U.S. hangs in the balance. As decisions regarding the app's status in the U.S. rest with the incoming administration, TikTok continues to push for a resolution that will allow it to remain operational, despite the ongoing legal and political challenges.
