The Lower House votes to decide whether to ban TikTok in the US as its content creators protest. The bill, which is based on national security concerns as a Chinese company owns the popular platform, faces an uncertain future in the Senate.
“It will destroy small businesses like us – this is our livelihood. We have created success,” one owner says. TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew denied that the Chinese government controls the app and rejected suggestions that China accessed American users' data.
