TikTok's US future uncertain amidst Congressional scrutiny and China concerns.
TL;DR Summary
TikTok's CEO, Shou Zi Chew, will testify in front of the US Congress for the first time on Thursday, facing questions about TikTok's relationship with China, data privacy, and why ByteDance employees spied on journalists. TikTok is fighting for its future in the US, as politicians from both sides want to see the platform sold or banned due to its Chinese ownership. Chew will argue that user data is safe and that Chinese laws cannot compel ByteDance to share American data. However, he may face curveball questions that could impact the future of the phenomenally popular video-sharing app in the US.
