TikTok: Shareholders who make 'disparaging statements' will lose their holdings
- AustinDev 3y agoTikTok is running a master class on acting as guilty as possible when faced with allegations of wrongdoing. First the spam the congress people push notification, then the comments about shutting it down being preferable to selling US biz, now we're at threats to stakeholders. Wild.
- gverri 3y agoBy your standards US social media companies are as guilty as TikTok since they have all employed the same tactics before. God, here in Brazil they did the EXACT same thing. Ask people to spam congress and threat to leave if they don't get what they want.
- bluefishinit 3y agoI disagree. It looks like they're fighting for the rights of US citizens. If you were one of the millions of people who use and like the app, you might feel the same way.
- AustinDev 3y agoI use and like the application. I'm just skeptical of a government that doesn't allow any of our social networks in their country and expects us to allow their social networks in our country. Seems like it should be symmetrical.

- advisedwang 3y agoThis is for TikTok EMPLOYEES. Not shareholders at large. Very misleading headline
- ribosometronome 3y agoThis is for TikTok shareholders who received shares by way of being an employee. They may or may not be employees anymore.

- Takennickname 3y agoPretty sure it's earned only if they fulfill their obligations. And I'm pretty sure not being negative about your employer on social media is somewhere in their contract. Not saying they're right, but this isn't "theft of earned compensation"
- EA-3167 3y agoAgain, they don't have to be current employees, and therefore may well not be under contract.
- Takennickname 3y agoWhatever. They literally signed a contract/shareholder agreement that says they can't do that. "muh freedumbs"
- sandworm101 3y agoDoes shorting constitute disparaging statements?

- beej71 3y agoThis is a common move, I think. The last company I worked for wanted me to sign a nondisparagement agreement. I didn't have to, but I wouldn't get significant severance if I didn't. They didn't have to offer me severance. They were buying the nondisparagement and other listed restrictions.
