TikTok Vows to Fight On as New Law Threatens Ban Unless ByteDance Sells

TikTok has vowed to challenge in court a bill signed into law by President Joe Biden on Wednesday that could ban the video-sharing platform unless its Chinese parent sells it.

In a two-minute video posted on TikTok, Chief Executive Officer Shou Zi Chew told 170 million American users that “we are not going anywhere,” and vowed to “keep fighting for your rights in the courts.” The facts and the Constitution are on TikTok’s side and “we expect to prevail again,” he said. Chew also called for users to share their stories about how the app has affected their lives.
