News of the Day
TikTok users in the United States were greeted with a full-screen message yesterday urging them to contact Congress to oppose a potential TikTok ban. The message emphasized the importance of free expression and encouraged users to voice their support for TikTok, highlighting the app's significance to its 170 million American users. The alert comes amid growing scrutiny of TikTok by U.S. lawmakers over concerns related to national security and data privacy. The company has been attempting to mitigate these concerns by stating that it does not share data with the Chinese government and by engaging its user community to lobby on its behalf. This effort includes inviting creators to Washington D.C. to speak directly with lawmakers, emphasizing TikTok's commitment to protecting its platform and user rights in the United States.
