'In light of recent events,' TikTok will stop operations in Hong Kong

The short-form video app’s planned departure from Hong Kong comes as various social media platforms and messaging apps including Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and Twitter balk at the possibility of providing user data to Hong Kong authorities.

Operated by Chinese internet giant Bytedance, TikTok has sought to distance itself from its Chinese roots while striving for global appeal. It recently hired former Walt Disney executive Kevin Mayer to be its CEO. The new law criminalizes some pro-democracy slogans like the widely used"Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our time," which the Hong Kong government says has separatist connotations.

Twitter also paused all data and information requests from Hong Kong authorities after the security law went into effect last week, the company said, emphasizing that it was"committed to protecting the people using our service and their freedom of expression."
