Tiktok says it will stop offering its social video app in Hong Kong. The region adopted a new national security law granting expanded powers to the mainland Chinese government.
Tech companies operating in Hong Kong are concerned the new law could force them to comply with China’s censorship standards. Google, Facebook, and Twitter have already stopped requests for user data from the Hong Kong government.
Tiktok is owned by a major Chinese Internet company. It has long argued that it never shares data with the Chinese government.
