TikTok CEO meets with Trump because the platform tries to keep away from a ban

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is about to satisfy with President-Elect Donald Trump on Monday because the platform faces a ban within the US, based on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. The transfer makes Chew the newest tech govt — following Apple CEO Tim Cook dinner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg — to satisfy with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Although Trump initially led the ban on TikTok over claims about nationwide safety considerations, he began to reverse course earlier this yr. In March, Trump stated he didn’t need a TikTok ban as a result of “…with out TikTok, you may make Fb larger and I think about Fb to be an enemy of the folks.” He later joined TikTok in June.
