Just three months after being appointed TikTok‘s global CEO, Kevin Mayer has called it quits. The former Disney executive had joined the company in May to oversee its growth in the US, India, and other global markets. However, the pressure of the current political climate seemed too much.

TikTok has faced a ton of adversity in the past few months. The app was banned in India after a skirmish at the China border between two armies. It had to pull out from Hong Kong’s app stores, and the US President Donald Trump recently issued an executive order that could ban the app in the country.
