Details
Internal documents indicate that Michael Beckerman, who until now headed TikTok's public policy direction in the United States, is leaving Washington and moving to a new advisory role in the company's global structure.
In recent years, Beckerman has been the face of TikTok in US political circles, actively defending the platform from regulatory pressure and attempts to ban it. His presence was key during congressional hearings, where the company repeatedly had to justify itself to the authorities over concerns about user data protection and ties to China.
