That was the message from Shou Chew, who runs TikTok for its Chinese parent company ByteDance, at the Masters of Scale Summit in San Francisco I’m attending.
During a rare public conversation today with LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman, Chew said he’s focused on building “technical solutions” to concerns like what user data TikTok does or doesn’t share with China:
We realize that we are a new and young company. The only way that we’re going to build trust in this country and all over the world is to be very consistent with our actions over a long period of time.
