KONTAN.CO.ID - WASHINGTON. Two U.S. senators said they hope TikTok will remain in business in the U.S. under a new owner as the chamber prepared to vote on Tuesday on legislation requiring Chinese owner ByteDance to divest the popular short video app's U.S. assets. Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner, a Democrat, said lawmakers recognized that the short video app is used by 170 million Americans, especially young people. "To those young Americans, I want to say, we hear your concern and we hope that TikTok will continue under new ownership -- American or otherwise... from Britain, Canada, Brazil France. It just needs to be no longer controlled by an adversary."
