Chew Shou Zi will make the case to lawmakers that banning the app will hurt American small businesses and damage the country’s economy, as well as impinge on the freedom of speech of its more than 150 million US users, according to his prepared testimony released on Tuesday night ahead of the hearing in Washington.
Calls for the app to be banned have mounted, with Congress advancing legislation that would give President Joe Biden the power to restrict or ban the app in America. Chew said the average US user today is an adult, who is well past the typical college age of 18 to 22. “TikTok has never shared, or received a request to share, US user data with the Chinese government. Nor would TikTok honour such a request if one were ever made,” said Chew.
Earlier on Tuesday, Chew appealed directly to TikTok users on the app and told them that the app faced a “pivotal moment” in the US.
