TikTok now has 150 million monthly active users in the United States, CEO Shou Chew confirmed

on Tuesday, in a clear attempt to highlight the platform’s vast and growing reach in the country amid renewed calls for a ban. “That’s almost half the US coming to TikTok to connect, to create, to share, to learn, or just to have some fun,” Chew said in a TikTok video on Tuesday. The figure also includes about five million businesses that use TikTok to reach customers, Chew said.

In 2020, when the Trump administration made a similar threat, TikTok said it had 100 million US users. “Now, this comes at a pivotal moment for us,” Chew said in the video Tuesday. “Some politicians have started talking about banning TikTok, now this could take TikTok away from all 150 million of you.” “I’ll be testifying before Congress later this week to share all that we’re doing to protect Americans using the app and deliver on our mission to inspire creativity and to bring joy,” Chew added.

Why aren’t you talking about the RESTRICT act and how it’ll put all social media at risk of being banned by an unelected position that has no checks and balances on top of non warrant surveillance of everything including private messages and more dontRESTRICTus

That's almost 45% of USA population. How to kill?

CEOs don’t confirm things. They just say them

Maybe CNN should launch a paid premium service

CNN should encourage the demise of TikToc. It is so dangerous and its hurting the young people

So what does TikTok produce...crazy people.... What does any social media app produce...nothing tangible or useful to the advancement of technology and intellect.

That's almost 40% of the population in the United states.

Holy fuck time to just shut the country down and give it to China. We're doomed.
