TikTok’s chief executive has vowed to ‘keep fighting’, after the US House of Representatives passed a bill that could see the app banned in the US.

Shou Zi Chew warned that if the bill becomes law, it will mean the end of the app for its 170 million users in the US.

While the bill passed overwhelmingly in the vote, it still needs to clear the Senate and be signed by the president to become law.

    China would never allow a US base company in their Internet system. We should not allow them in ours. Plain and simple.

    "TikTok makes people '17% more antisemitic, more pro-Hamas'" Nikki Haley equating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism and pro-terrorism. The free internet gives people the ability to research for themselves; eg the history of Palestine, history of N.Ireland, colonialism, wars and coupes, corruption and scandal etc.. which is often very embarrassing for our less-than-perfect governments.

    If tiktok is a national security threat, doesn't that mean all other social media apps are also national security threats? Note: I dont use tiktok, nor do I support it
