TikTok and Democrat-aligned PR firm SKDK part ways
TikTok’s time with the uber-connected Democratic PR firm SKDK is up. According to the Washington Post’s Technology 202 newsletter, SKDK "wrapped up its work for TikTok in recent weeks after assisting with its campaign to bring digital influencers to Capitol Hill." Politico reported that TikTok retained the services of the firm co-founded by Joe Biden’s current senior advisor Anita Dunn on March 9. To Cockburn, it seems like SKDK’s mission is complete. During its time representing the controversial Chinese app, the odds of a full TikTok ban — which seemed all but inevitable following CEO Shou Zi Chew’s disastrous congressional testimony later in March — have dwindled by the day.
