ByteDance hires new global general counsel as TikTok fights US ‘divest-or-ban’ order
Beijing-based ByteDance has argued the law violates the First Amendment. US lawmakers, meanwhile, say the company’s ties to China make TikTok a security risk to American users.
“Over the last few years, we have worked tirelessly to build trust and navigate unprecedented legal and regulatory environments globally,” TikTok chief executive officer Chew Shou Zi said in the blog post.
“Building upon the strong foundation of our global legal team, I know John is eager to hit the ground running during this important time for the company.”
Rogovin replaces Erich Andersen, who announced in April that he was stepping down from the position.
Andersen, whose role had been diminished over time as the company faced a growing chorus of complaints from US lawmakers, said that he would remain as “special counsel to the company” after formally leaving his post this month.
Rogovin will report to ByteDance CEO Liang Rubo, the company said in the blog post.
