WASHINGTON, March 21 — TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew said the Chinese-owned short video app company faces a pivotal moment as a growing number of US lawmakers seek to ban the popular app over national security concerns.
Chew, who will testify Thursday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said:"Some politicians have started talking about banning TikTok." He asked TikTok users to leave comments about what they wanted US lawmakers to know about"what you love about TikTok."TikTok's critics fear its US 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.
Last week, TikTok said the Biden administration demanded that TikTok's Chinese owners divest their stake in the app or it could face a US ban.
