TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew said the Chinese-owned short video app company faces a pivotal moment as a growing number of U.S. lawmakers seek to ban the popular app over national security concerns.
early Tuesday the app now has more than 150 million active monthly U.S. users. "That's almost half the U.S. coming to TikTok," Chew said. TikTok in 2020 said it had 100 million U.S. users.
Chew, who will testify Thursday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said: "Some politicians have started talking about banning TikTok." "Now this could take TikTok away from all 150 million of you," he said in the video that features the U.S. Capitol in the background. He asked TikTok users to leave comments about what they wanted U.S. lawmakers to know about "what you love about TikTok."TikTok's critics fear its U.S. user data could be passed on to China's government by the app, which is owned by the Chinese tech company ByteDance. TikTok rejects the spying allegations.
TikTok also said Tuesday it had updated its community use guidelines and offered more details of its plans to secure the data of U.S. users. The company said it had started to delete this month U.S. user protected data in data centers in Virginia and Singapore after it started routing new U.S. data to the Oracle
