TikTok CEO Shou Chew said Wednesday that the company would go to court to try to remain online in the United States. In a video posted on the app, Chew denounced a potential ban signed into law by President Joe Biden. The law has a built-in delay of nine months, giving TikTok’s Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance, a chance to sell the app rather than face a nationwide prohibition.
Proponents of the ban also say that China could pressure the company to manipulate what users see in order to further the country's foreign policy aims. TikTok has said it's working to alleviate security concerns by storing data in the U.S., and that the propaganda concerns are unfounded. Chew is from Singapore. The federal proposed ban that Biden signed into law Wednesday was included in a $95 billion national security package with aid to Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine.
