Moving quickly for resolution of issues in India, US: TikTok

Chinese internet-technology company ByteDance on Thursday said it is moving fast to address issues related to its video-sharing platform TikTok’s ban in India and the US, amidst reports of its CEO Kevin Mayer resigning due to “changes in the political environment”.

Mayer has resigned in just four months of becoming the chief executive officer of the Chinese video-sharing application.

He was prompted by a series of changes in the company’s structure “as a result of the (US President Donald) Trump administration’s action to push for a sell-off to the U.S,” according to a letter from Mayer to TikTok employees on Thursday, state-run CGTN-TV reported.
