TikTok and the United States

Shou Zi Chew has played an important role in 2024 in the controversy being debated in the United States. Since he took over the management of TikTok, the Chinese social network has had strong growth, but it has not been immune to questions either.

In short, in the United States, a ban on the platform has been proposed unless its Chinese owner, the company ByteDance, sells the social network to an American firm. The reason revolves around national security.

The situation becomes more complex due to the users that TikTok has: in the United States alone there are 170 million users who could be affected. But ByteDance’s response has been to not accept the pressure and has refused to sell the social network.
