字節迴應美國行政令:若不能公正對待 將訴諸法院

本站科技訊8月7日消息,字節跳動針對美國政府行政命令發表聲明,聲明中表示,總統令開了一個有違表達自由和開放市場的危險先例,如果美國政府不能給予字節跳動公正的對待,字節跳動將訴諸美國法院。

聲明稱,近一年來,字節跳動一直懷着真誠的態度,尋求跟美國政府溝通,針對他們所提出的顧慮提供建設性的解決方案。但所面對的卻是美國政府罔顧事實,不遵循正當法律程序擅自決定協議條款,甚至試圖干涉私營企業之間的協商。

聲明還表示,字節跳動已明確表示願意與美國政府協商解決方案,但在這一過程中,美國政府始終不遵循正當法律程序也不依法行事。行政命令引用的“報告”來歷不明或未經證實,此外,TikTok被質疑的數據收集行爲,一直都是全世界數以千計的移動程序的常規做法。字節跳動也明確表示過,TikTok從來沒有與中國政府共享用戶數據,也從未應要求審查過內容。

與此同時,tiktok在美國官網也發佈了英文版的聲明,內容與中文版基本相同,部分截圖如下。

字節跳動針對美國政府行政命令的聲明全文:

TikTok是一個充滿創意和熱情的社區,爲無數家庭帶來了快樂,也爲創作者提供有意義的事業。我們會長遠地建設這個平臺。TikTok將繼續長期存在下去。

美國總統最新頒發的這項行政命令沒有遵循正當法律程序,我們對此感到非常震驚。近一年來,我們一直懷着真誠的態度,尋求跟美國政府溝通,針對他們所提出的顧慮提供建設性的解決方案。但我們所面對的卻是美國政府罔顧事實,不遵循正當法律程序擅自決定協議條款,甚至試圖干涉私營企業之間的協商。

我們已明確表示願意與美國政府協商解決方案,以便能繼續服務我們的用戶、創作者、商業夥伴、員工以及美國社會。但在這一過程中,美國政府始終不遵循正當法律程序也不依法行事。行政命令引用的“報告”來歷不明或未經證實,對於這款應用“可能”會被用於虛假宣傳活動的擔憂並無任何實質依據。此外,TikTok被質疑的數據收集行爲,一直都是全世界數以千計的移動程序的常規做法。我們明確表示過,TikTok從來沒有與中國政府共享用戶數據,也從未應要求審查過內容。事實上,我們通過建立透明度中心(Transparency Center)的方式,公開了我們的審覈政策和算法源代碼,還沒有同類型科技公司承諾履行這樣的責任。我們甚至表示可以將美國業務出售給一家美國公司。

這項行政命令會破壞全球企業對美國法治承諾的信任。數十年來,正是它吸引着外國投資,推動了美國經濟增長。該項命令開了一個有違表達自由和開放市場的危險先例。我們將全力採取一切可行的措施,確保法治不被摒棄,我們的公司和用戶獲得公正的對待。如果美國政府不能給予我們公正的對待,我們將訴諸美國法院。

對於1億美國用戶來說,TikTok是他們表達自我、娛樂、連接彼此的家園,我們希望他們知道:TikTok從來沒有,也絕不會動搖我們的承諾。我們始終將用戶安全和社區信任放在首位。作爲TikTok的用戶、創作者、合作伙伴和家人,你們有權利向各級議員包括白宮政府表達意見。你們的聲音有權被聆聽。

以下是美國官網的英文版聲明

Statement on the Administration's Executive Order

TikTok is a community full of creativity and passion, a home that brings joy to families and meaningful careers to creators. And we are building this platform for the long term. TikTok will be here for many years to come.

We are shocked by the recent Executive Order, which was issued without any due process. For nearly a year, we have sought to engage with the US government in good faith to provide a constructive solution to the concerns that have been expressed. What we encountered instead was that the Administration paid no attention to facts, dictated terms of an agreement without going through standard legal processes, and tried to insert itself into negotiations between private businesses.

We made clear our intentions to work with the appropriate officials to devise a solution to benefit our users, creators, partners, employees, and the broader community in the United States. There has been, and continues to be, no due process or adherence to the law. The text of the decision makes it plain that there has been a reliance on unnamed "reports" with no citations, fears that the app "may be" used for misinformation campaigns with no substantiation of such fears, and concerns about the collection of data that is industry standard for thousands of mobile apps around the world. We have made clear that TikTok has never shared user data with the Chinese government, nor censored content at its request. In fact, we make our moderation guidelines and algorithm source code available in our Transparency Center, which is a level of accountability no peer company has committed to. We even expressed our willingness to pursue a full sale of the US business to an American company.

This Executive Order risks undermining global businesses' trust in the United States' commitment to the rule of law, which has served as a magnet for investment and spurred decades of American economic growth. And it sets a dangerous precedent for the concept of free expression and open markets. We will pursue all remedies available to us in order to ensure that the rule of law is not discarded and that our company and our users are treated fairly – if not by the Administration, then by the US courts.

We want the 100 million Americans who love our platform because it is your home for expression, entertainment, and connection to know: TikTok has never, and will never, waver in our commitment to you. We prioritize your safety, security, and the trust of our community – always. As TikTok users, creators, partners, and family, you have the right to express your opinions to your elected representatives, including the White House. You have the right to be heard.
