TikTok
A shareholder agreement prevents 'critical, adverse, or disparaging' comments about TikTok, according to a report by Fortune.
  • Speaking ill of TikTok reportedly comes at a cost for its workers.
  • Restricted stock unit holders could lose their shares for disparaging TikTok, Fortune reports.
  • The company is facing fresh scrutiny — and a bill calling for it to be sold or banned.

Bad-mouthing TikTok could come at a steep cost for current and former staffers.

While the company offers restricted stock units (RSU) to employees — shares in the business as a type of compensation — a provision in a TikTok shareholder agreement states that the shares can be taken away, Fortune reports.
