Carr’s comments come close on the heels of a stringent directive issued to the popular app by US President Joe Biden on Wednesday. He signed a bill that requires TikTok’s Chinese parent ByteDance to divest ownership of the app or face the ban in the next nine to 12 months. ByteDance said it is not considering selling the app with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew asserting that the facts and the US Constitution were on the company’s side.
