Tik Tok will exit Hong Kong following new security law
TikTok plans to pull out of the Hong Kong market after China imposed a new security law on the city that gives authorities sweeping new powers, raising concerns about data privacy.
A spokesman for the company told BBC: "In light of recent events, we've decided to stop operations of the TikTok app in Hong Kong,".
Other companies including Google, Facebook, Telegram and Twitter have suspended processing government access requests for user data in Hong Kong.
