Some British lawmakers are pushing back against a possible relocation of TikTok’s headquarters from California to London in response to threats by the US government to ban the video-sharing app, according to government sources familiar with the matter.

Parent company ByteDance admitted on Monday that TikTok’s headquarters may be established outside the United States, as the Post reported that the founder Zhang Yiming “disagrees” with the conclusion of the US decision on its risks to national security.
