The CEO of TikTok responds to Trump, thanking him for trying to solve the US ban

Shou Zi Chew, CEO of TikTok answered to comments made by Donald Trump regarding Friday Judgment of the Supreme Court to ban the app in the US

In a video posted on TikTok, Chew said: “On behalf of TikTok and all of our users across the country, I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to working with us to find a solution that will keep TikTok in the United States. This is a strong position for the First Amendment, and it is arbitrary censorship.”

TikTok seems to rely on Trump’s support to maintain the legality of the Chinese platform in the United States. Trump clearly wants everyone to see him as the savior of TikTok, posting on Truth Social that he is in discussion with Chinese President Xi Jinping to find a way to save the platform.

“We are grateful and happy to have the support of a president who truly understands our platform, someone who has used TikTok to express his own thoughts and perspectives, connecting with the world and generating more than 60 billion views of his content in the process.” Chew continued. “Rest assured, we will do everything in our power to ensure our platform thrives… More to come.”

Earlier Friday, the Supreme Court declared that the ban on TikTok would pass. Currently, it is not certain if TikTok will disable the app for users in the United States this Sunday or if the app plans to wait and see if the Trump administration can negotiate a resolution.
