You may have seen today that TikTok is about to exit Hong Kong within days. For those of you who haven't seen where it came from, here are the latest news related to that:



Social Media companies are facing a hard time in Hong Kong. China's national security law for Hong Kong will fundamentally change the territory's legal system, according to experts. With many vague highly subjective, and malleable statements, people may be frightened and intimidated to say or write anything in opposition to the government. And that goes against many Social Media policies.


TikTok looks like it is trying to show that they are a global company, with international responsibility, and to sustain that, they had to leave Hong Kong.



All other social media are now under pressure to take a side. How will that unfold to Hong Kong?
