Snap CEO Evan Spiegel says the company would love a US TikTok ban — but only in the short term.
Spiegel was asked by a reporter at the Snap Partner Summit on Wednesday if he thought Congress should ban TikTok.
"We'd love that. In the short term," he answered. "In the short term, that is something that would help us out."
However, he also acknowledged that a ban could set a dangerous precedent for other platforms.
"I think there are some big questions about what that would mean longer term, single out a single technology company, instead of developing a more comprehensive regulatory well," he said.
