Will the United States ban TikTok?
The United States may decide to ban TikTok if it doesn’t agree to separate from its parent company, ByteDance.
On March 23, 2023, Chew testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee to talk about the company’s privacy practices, the app’s impact on children, and its relationship with China’s government.
The night before his testimony, influencers, and small business owners gathered at the Capitol, protesting the potential ban.
Two days before, on March 21, Chew posted a minute-long video with the Capitol building as his background to the app.
He said he planned to tell Congress everything he and the app are doing to “protect Americans using the app.”
