Shaw Chu emphasized in his video message that he will continue to “defend this amazing platform” and fight for user rights. He highlighted the potential consequences of the ban, encouraging American users to share their experiences with loved ones and senators.
The Protecting Americans from Foreign-Controlled Apps Act forces TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance to transfer ownership rights to a US company within six months or face an outright ban.
This isn’t the first time TikTok has faced such restrictions. The company previously challenged a similar ban imposed by the state of Montana and had a federal judge temporarily block it. Chu’s statement suggests that a similar legal fight will be waged against the “nationwide ban.”
The CEO argues that the ban would not only hinder free speech for millions of American users but also empower rival social media giants.
