HONG KONG - TikTok said it will exit the Hong Kong market within days, a spokesman told Reuters late on Monday , as other technology companies including Facebook Inc have suspended processing government requests for user data in the region.
The company, now run by former Walt Disney Co executive Kevin Mayer, has said in the past that the app's user data is not stored in China. Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc, and Twitter said they suspended their reviews of data requests from Hong Kong authorities immediately after the law went into effect last week.Google said it would continue reviewing Hong Kong government requests for removals of user-generated content from its services.Social networks often apply localised restrictions to posts that violate local laws but not their own rules for acceptable speech.
