TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew responds to proposed U.S. ban, hints at lawsuit

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew has responded to Wednesday's vote on the proposed U.S. TikTok ban, calling it "disappointing" and indicating that the company may take legal action. It seems as though TikTok isn't ready to disappear without a fight.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act on Wednesday, voting 352 to 65 in favour of the proposed legislation banning TikTok. The bill will now be voted on by the Senate, and if approved, then be sent to President Joe Biden to be signed into law.

TikTok users inundated Congress with calls prior to the vote, asking representatives not to pass the bill after an in-app popup informed them of the situation. Now CEO Chew has directly urged users to continue sharing their stories with their senators and "protect your constitutional rights."
