Mobile video app TikTok to donate $250 million for Covid-19 relief
TikTok said the funds would be for"front line medical workers, educators, and local communities deeply affected by the global crisis."
TikTok, which US officials and lawmakers have assailed for potential security risks, said the funds would be for "front line medical workers, educators, and local communities deeply affected by the global crisis." "We want to magnify all we are seeing across our community and translate it into concrete relief for those most affected by this crisis."
TikTok said it would match $10 million in donations to its "community relief fund," with some of that going to artists, songwriters, and music professionals hurt by cancelled performances and gig work.
