TikTok has 150 million active users in the US
As TikTok's CEO, Zhang Yiming, testifies before Congress, he plans to divulge new internal data that indicates the app's impact on the daily lives of Americans runs significantly deeper than what people realize.
TikTok has presently declared that there are approximately 100 million regular users of the application in the United States, however, according to a democratic senior strategist who advises TikTok, the number has now reached 150 million, and Zhang will testify to this effect before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
With a 50% increase in monthly active users in the United States over the past three years, the app's position in the country has grown more entrenched, while Washington - struggling to determine how to control it under two presidential administrations - has attempted to address the issue.
