WASHINGTON - TikTok chief executive officer Chew Shou Zi told the app's US users to speak out after the House of Representatives passed a Bill on March 13 that would force the company to sever ties with its Chinese owner or be banned in the United States.

"This Bill gives more power to a handful of social media companies. It will also take billions of dollars out of the pockets of creators and small businesses," he said in a video posted on X and TikTok.
"It will put more than 300,000 American jobs at risk and it will take away your TikTok.
"We will continue to do all we can, including exercising our legal rights to protect this amazing platform that we have built with you.
