Executives are discussing options such as creating a new management board for TikTok or establishing a headquarters for the app outside of China

Maybe it is best to move the headquarters to Switzerland 🇨🇭

Not just headquarters, but also majority ownership.

If you believe that I feel sorry for you.

Just bring back vine

Those moves don’t mean sh*ts.

Only way one can trust it anymore, is if it's sold off by byte dance !!!

Do they have much of a choice? If they don't get their act together -- given the reputation they're receiving in the US -- Facebook, or another competitor will crush them in the US.

Completely naive to think the CCP won’t have access to such a powerful platform and people fall for it every time

They’ll just buy some failed Western Europe media app, slap that name on the company and its back to their shenanigans.

Too late. They spied on american citizens. Delete the app.

You mess with the bull tiktok_us You get the horns

Nope gets its banned permanently

Too late

How can they ever distance themselves from being a Chinese company that is bounded by law to share whatever data the govt asks them to. I just dont get it

It will still be a Chinese company no matter what. Hard to believe TikTok will say no to Chinese government .

It ain’t gonna matter! tiktokdown

Umm, no cares about the color of your lipstick

Forget about it. Nothing will ever change with this China spy agency.

Tiktok remains cancelled !!

Tik Tok like Huawei etc does not and will never have the personal protections that a western gov can provide!

One suggestion though, don't come to US. Europe offers many of the same advantages, but with stronger privacy laws that cannot create a single opening for people like Trump to attack or exploit.

Too late, when they did something and people know that

Ban it.

too late

Yeah right

The point is..……. China has never said 'a truth'! (You can try examples!)

🤔 tracking and spying will continue whether or not it's headquarters are in China. Besides, it's a mindless app.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

TikTok the China-app wearing American make-up😂😂😂😂

Banning Apps and Calling Chinese Virus will not help you. Even you will become laughing stock because of these things.

It doesn’t matter, they originated from China.

US Is Jealous of China Economy

No way that TikTok is getting banned. Can you imagine the fury of millions of lip-synching and dancing Gen Z-ers!? Think of the memes!

Polishing the turd

Yeah good luck convincing any country with a brain that this separation is real
