TikTok CEO Pleads with Trump as Regulatory Crackdown Looms

Facing potential severe restrictions from the incoming Trump administration, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew has made a public plea to the President-elect, urging a reconsideration of laws that threaten the operational freedom of the video-sharing platform. Chew's message casts TikTok as a victim of overreach by governmental forces aiming to curtail the innovative spirit of the tech industry. This comes at a time when concerns about data privacy, national security, and ideological bias within tech platforms are at the forefront of conservative agendas.
