"In light of recent events, we've decided to stop operations of the TikTok app in Hong Kong," TikTok told AFP. TikTok has consistently denied sharing any user data with authorities in China, and was adamant it did not intend to begin to agree to such requests. The company expects to take several days to wind down app operations in Hong Kong.
