TikTok has finally responded to the President of the United States, Donald Trump, saying they are not going anywhere after her threatened to ban the Chinese-owned video app from the US.

In a statement released by a spokesperson for the company, the platform disclosed that they have provided millions of Americans with “entertainment and connection” during the coronavirus pandemic and denied criticism that its Chinese owner shares user information with Beijing.

“TikTok US user data is stored in the US, with strict controls on employee access. TikTok’s biggest investors come from the US. We are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and safety as we continue working to bring joy to families and meaningful careers to those who create on our platform,” the spokesperson said.

The U.S. General Manager of the company, Vanessa Pappas also appeared in a video on Saturday defending the app and touting U.S. jobs and other measures taken by the company.

“We’re not planning on going anywhere,” Pappas says in the video, adding later, “We’re here for the long run.”

The pushback came after Trump warned on Friday evening that he could use emergency powers or an executive order as soon as this weekend to bar the platform from operating in the U.S.

wow so those are the contents sent to u? Well ehen u see such contents click on "not interested " and other matured videos will be pushed to you. Tiktok has the realest news u won't find on Facebook, instagram and WhatsApp because those are trump owned apps. Tiktok isn't coz but at one point u have almost 100k likes plus over 10k comments is that a small tin? Instagram on the other hand is filled with nothing but oloshos shaking bum bum, na wa!!! Instablog posting screenshots as news, everyone to them is either an influencer or billionaire boyfriend. Only tunde ednut post a bit more matured contents but he has to come over to tiktok to see some of those contents.

u still won't get it no matter the explanations. Imagine ur whole life being controlled by one person. From Facebook to instagram then WhatsApp he controls whatever goes in and out of u, he decides what u see and don't see. That's what trump wants. They are angry another big player will take away that monopoly.

Nice one from them

When Trump and Congress wanted to falsely accuse Mark Zuckerberg of selling user data and spying... He simply attended their senate committee hearing where he made the US senators appear like illiterates , he schooled them on the use of cookies on browsers and apps, a schooled them the terms they agreed to when signing up.. nobody told them when they stop embarrassing themselves all because Facebook takes down their hateful contents


From Huawei to AfDB take over from Adesina, to tiktok ... Everyone is now challenging the big bully


.

If trump continue with his type of war with china, he can't win, for long

Trump? Champion of free speech? this is so funny, It is conservatives that are being censored on social media ok? no lefties has been blocked or censored. Ever heard of De-platforming?if you haven't check it out, thats what they do to conservatives on socail media. It is why an app that's called Parler exist, get your fact right.

Lol The amount of misinformation that goes on here is crazy, so why did FTC hit Facebook with $5billion fine? i guess for being a law abiding company right?
They're censoring like they're a publisher that's why Trump recently sign an executive order removing socail media apps special status, now they're open to many lawsuits. You can't eat your cake and have it, if you want to censor then do it as a publisher and take the whole risk.

I personally think the Executive order would just make Zuckerberg remove more and more of their hateful contents, and election campaigns

It's like holding Se.un accountable for the comments of people like NWA.amaikpe. That won't work in Court of law, the Lawsuit are just waste of time .. like many Executive order from Trump thrown out by US suppremme court , this one would also be trashed

You probably don't know how crazy Americans are and how much they value their freedom of speech. Facrbook and Twitter go settle out of court tire. Nigeria is not U.S. in US if you want to edit, influence and censor what people say, you have to be a publisher. facebook and Twitter are simply not.

How many has been thrown out? he's winning the ones he needs to win and those he lost he made corrections and refile again eg Daca.
