Yes, lying to Congress has consequences.....just ask the dozens of bureaucrats who have done so in the past few years, they're definitely all serving time now.
Exactly. We the people volunteer sniper squad and frontier justice is the only justice that will remain.
It's all a political conspiracy and espionage agenda here against TikTok . Shameful. Period
That's entirely false.....oooihhhhhh I see what you did there. You better watch out or you'll get arrested for misinformation purely sadly my sarcasm was exaggeration and not a 180
Also I truly believe these people are not lying as much as people think. China has a weakness in communicating their true intentions with members of the Communist Party through their public news sources. Not unlike how the US government officials calibrate their opinions.
I spent several hours a week listening to translations and you can believe me or not when I say that China is dangerous but also incompetent. They simply do not have the internal accountability to implement highly sophisticated plans. Only a fraction of potentially useful information Tik-Tok gives to the Chinese government will be used to harm anyone. It more than likely will be used to try and find specific people rather than execute a mastermind AI psyop
@@almaadams3631 assassinating your enemies (whether foreign or domestic) does not solve your problem or enable your solution. Good people don’t replace corrupt ones, especially when the corrupt business or political party or nation is already convinced of a certain ideology. Also if you think your solution (your preferred business exec, your preferred political leader, or your preferred government leadership) will be the inevitable next choice to take power, then just realize that your opponents have just as much freedom and ability to assassinate your solutions too. In fact, they’ll be more motivated and morally justified in doing the same to your side.
These question can literally work on any company: “Can you be certain with 100% certainty that your toilets will not be used by a foreign agent, yes or no?”
i think ppl just dont get the fact that the problem isnt what the company are going to promise, because promises are just words,its about the ownership of the company. which stated in the hearing that CCP spokesman said that chinese government has the authority and the final say over Tiktok's ownership. and why ownership is important?
Chinese National Intelligence Law, outlines that for "Chinese citizens and companies alike, participation in "intelligence work" is a legal responsibility and obligation, regardless of geographic boundaries.
so if CCP has final say over tiktok then tiktok is bound to obey CCP under chinese law.
and this is a potential danger that TIkTok can't prove to solve. unless CCP has no authority nor final say over tiktok in any type of way. but as CCP claimed, TIKTOK has to get permission from chinese government, period. if CCP can dictates TikTok then it proves TikTok can be controlled by CCP, they have not cut the tie, otherwise CCP wouldnt be able to have such claim.
Exactly. She dug holes for this young man and the TikTok. She and some other politicians are crazy. If they hate anything from China so badly, why not cut off all connections?!!! They blame China for all their own problems and failures.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, set the tone for the hearing early, telling Shou: “Your platform should be banned.”
Unlike most of his interrogators, Shou remained civil and answered lawmakers’ concerns in good faith. Or at least he tried to, when he wasn’t being interrupted or talked over or denied a chance to respond to an allegation.
Congressmen and women asked long question, but want only one word answer - Yes or No. Avoiding the question, or asking for clarification is taken to be "Yes" or "No" answer.
😂
That's right TikTok, only American tech companies can spy on us.😂😢
Imagine you are spying on your girlfriend with cameras inside her house but the cameras are provided by your friend - then you start to question your friend if he spies on her... would you be ok with that?
Better than foreign enemy countries, though data collection by anyone from anywhere is not exactly favorable
The difference is that American company wont over throw their government
@@higherbeingX
I’m not sure that. However, any kind of spying shouldn’t be tolerated. What can we do about it at this day and age.
@@MadJack1 our enemy is our own US government along with the big CARTEL OF corporations and bankers now in vulgar decline 😂
If tiktok is a weapon than so is facebook and google
yep they're just upset that they can't control the whole narrative unless they are all owned by google. I mean flat earth is censored on youtube, but on tik tok it's free
but facebook/google or most other giant are American company so it's internal weapon and actually you have bit of leverage on it.
so basically you are allow to f*** yourself and others , but you can't let others f*** you , there is a big difference .
The only difference is that facebook and google are banned in China but tik tok is actively sharing your data with CCP. Wake up people!
70th like. You already got best number of likes.
They are all data gathering weapons. Only issue is TicTok doesn't give US gov backdoors to spy and collect data. Like all the other platforms and companies do.
Damn, she just literally threatened him that if she did not hear an answer she likes, she's going to throw him into jail. Welcome to the lawmakers in the US.....
Is she in grade school? Can she say with 100% certainty that she has always followed all laws?
@@kisol2051 welcome to the US government
I think she was looking for a yes or no. She isn’t influencing his answer, she is “hounding” him to answer the question. If he can not be 100% then he should say no. That is the premise of the question. (No doubt there are liars and thief’s in our government though.)
No, she was just trying to get him to answer the actual question she asked. He was trying to answer in a way that doesn't actually answer it directly. You cannot trust his assurances if they still have the ability to do it.
CCP bot
This congress lady is so courageous in her fight against messaging app, it's breathtaking. If only she was this vigilant against corruption in the banking sector that's about to bring the whole financial system down. But hey, who cares about that. Let's fight the windmills instead
Lmao thank you I'm glad somebody else sees through the bullshit here. I can't help but feel in part they know that tiktok is a place where people, particularly young people, can make videos and discuss things, concepts, ideas, people's, etc, in a way to mass-amounts of people without being under traditional media's thumb. They would like to squash that
@@kyle-october old ppl get scared of things they don’t understand. Natl security is legit so of course it should be banned on those phones, but for everyone else let them decide.
This Congress woman thought those funny videos in tik tok is a threat to her candidacy for president. Strange.
I THINK YOUR COMMENT WAS VERY SARCASTIC. STICK TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND. ONE CAN NOT EASILY THROW IN MANY IRONS INTO THE FIRE AND EXPECT THEM ALL TO GET PUT OUT AND SOLVED. I THINK (AS YOU STATED) REP. CATHY McMORRIS RODGERS (R-WA) WAS VERY COURAGEOUS IN HER FIGHT...AGAINST REMOVING TIK TOK (MY WORDS) FROM AMERICA. PERIOD. THIS TAKES TIME, BUT I BELIEVE IF SHE GETS THE SUPPORT AND I THINK SHE WILL, FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE ISLE, TIK TOK WILL BE HISTORY IN AMERICA. AS FAR AS THE FINANCIAL FALLOUT THAT IS HAPPENING, THIS IS NOT A ONCE SUBJECT MATTER. THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR THE COLLAPSE OF THE BANKING SECTOR. WE CAN START WITH BIDEN AND THE DEMS. AND LISTEN TO ELON MUSK, SUCH A MOST BEYOND BRILLIANT MIND THAT UNDERSTANDS FAR MORE THAN MANY INVESTORS COULD EVER UNDERSTAND. HE EXPLAINS THE HISTORY OF THE BANKING PLATFORM AND WHAT HAS BROUGHT US TO WHERE WE ARE. OF COURSE THE FOUNDATION OF A STABLE COUNTRY LIES IN A STRONG FINANCIAL INSTITITON. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN YESTERDAY. THIS HAS BEEN BREWING FOR DECADES AND BIDEN IS NOT THE ONLY PRESIDENT THAT HAS FAILED OUR COUNTRY FINANCIALLY. O'BAMA SURELY IS IN THE MIX AND MORE. BUT BIDEN HAS DONE THE MOST DAMAGE. AS FAR AS THE WINDMILLS, NOT SURE WHY THIS STATEMENT WAS PUT IT WITH YOUR OTHER WORDS.
i think ppl just dont get the fact that the problem isnt what the company are going to promise, because promises are just words,its about the ownership of the company. which stated in the hearing that CCP spokesman said that chinese government has the authority and the final say over Tiktok's ownership. and why ownership is important?

I think what US congress is trying to say is. Give them part of the pie cos youre making too much money.
US want the whole pie without paying a dime.
More like because we don’t have control of these data so we gonna ban you 😂
@@KikiHoffman-fu3psCorrect… and if you don’t they’ll invade you under the false premise of freedom
If that’s the case these congress people have been lying for years, are they in jail now?
Yeah Fauci helped fund a pandemic.
He lied and laughed.
What happens when the pentagon makes false statements to congress?
nothing
@@commander0zero I concur...nothing at all.
Usually a promotion...
The budget increases.
They get more money
Did they question FB, Google and Apple about data on other country's users' privacy?? What a bunch of warmongers.
They did. I think your were in Beijing then or just busy with tiktok
google just paid 600 million usd to settle law suit over user privacy, tik tok too can pay its way out i m sure, but would be a lot more expensive now that congress is beating down on it
@@unsatura is not about the problem of how much, is all about the problem of "CHINA". They suspect Tik Tok working with China, any shit that involve China especially in the field of politics, you cant just pay through it.
Ok wumao bot
The only evidence they need is their own intent, such as they "suspect". This is so ridiculous, since they can destroy anything they want without the need to provide any evidence. And they have been doing this all the time.
100% certainty does not exist in this world.
Exactly 💯. Even Meta and twitter or other platform also experience breaches. The stupid question is hard to watch.
This.
im certain she is a man
It's very simple...the Chinese are doing what the Americans are doing all over the world.
Since decades...by the way.
Nah! USA is all about invading and killing!
American do is correct. They are the big boss. Others can't
So, I guess defending our country I wrong? Why is china defending the app so much?
@@alexlopez5800 sorry I am not Chinese. I am neutral.
@@alexlopez5800 had you asked the apps users they want to continue use it or not? Yes or no?
So many loaded questions but Mr Chew was only allowed to answer "Yes" or "No". This shows that the congress was more interested on assigning blame than genuinely seeking the truth.
He's literally answering her question and all she's doing is fishing for the answer SHE wants to hear.
That's like 80-90% of all U.S. politicians and congressmen nowadays
Yes or No
Pretty ironic a member of Congress reminding anyone that making false or misleading statements is a Federal crime.
Little Bush just left the building 😂😂
nuremberg 2.0 for those who forced the world to take vaccines. WHO. who is financed by mr 20 to 1 return on vaccines bill gates
US govt is the largest group of hypocrites in quite literally the entire world.
she looks like a botox queen
Why is she asking if she knows the answers?
Because he’s the guilty one, and he needs to be put in jail, not her
Dude… he’s singaporean. He’s can’t answer rhetoric questions about ccp properly if it will have theres consequence to us singaporean
If US wants to ban TikTok then they should have just went ahead and done it and not put this stupid front to fly and shame one of ours singaporean people…
@@jamespotato I agree. Just ban it.
Felt like he alone himself fight against the whole world, poor him!
They were all so rude and cruel to him I would've got up and left not tolerating that disrespect idc if you're congress
Singaporeans are too soft, I'm sure Mr Chew is a brilliant man but we are not good at debating and defending ourselves with words
When it comes to national security people have ask twisted questions to puzzle the person who is asked.
In the wild wild west, culture or niceties will not get you anywhere. You got a gun, you shoot. Most American homes keep guns in handy.
Khalid ma’am I believe Mr Chew attitude is pretty great, humble and soft as well as very polite guy. As we can see he alone fight against the whole world and still can keep his head as cool as possible. Truly support him alot!
@@huyvoong3285 In the face of bullies, that one should do. The whole world is watching the ugly American politicians. Very bad reflections of the American people, beliefs and ideals.
The questions asked by these politicians show their price and prejudice and their ignorance of this new thing
Watching Congress asking questions will do more damage to a kid's brain than a TikTok video ever could
The most intelligent do not run the USA. Racism does.
If Tiktok is a weapon , The FB,Twitte,TH-cam,chatGPT are weapons!
Don't forget the so called free emails 😅
Different.

these more than weapon. If tiktok is bad,then other are evil.
Congressional procedure seriously gets in the way of actual dialogue and discussion.
Why does McMorris Rodgers hate the Free Market?
Lol that’s assuming they even want to discuss in good faith. This was a witch hunt from day 1.
False, the procedure is flexible enough to allow lengthy discussion, and long form answers. However, by asking only yes or no questions, as well as forcibly asking questions which cannot be answered as yes or no, US Congress is purposely creating this no-win situation.
@@Lance_G Exactly. They could've perhaps done a deep dive and ask more specific questions, about the CCP commitee role, how is the separation of TikTok from it's "chinese counterpart" ensured and what specifically does or can get shared...
Instead of asking about 100% certainty... the only certainty is that you'll die one day. And even that... well.
I can at least appreciate that they weren't giving softball questions.
She’s too cringe… the ineptitude of her understanding of tech is mind blowing
??
all of these big tech hearings are they same. We put tech-illiterate clowns who spend their time grandstanding to gain political clout.
If this was truly about educating the American public, they would've spend less time rambling and allocating more time for nuanced answers. Just look at this one example. Spends 2 minutes asking a "question", before going "very quickly yes or no". What a joke
Your cringe kiddo
@@ralphbuchwitz did you? the fact that some guy literally asked if tik tok uses wifi? lmao
@@ralphbuchwitz short answer is nothing concerning in that way. tiktok does what the other socail media devices do only difference is that theres a chinese government instead of an american one.
People should own their own data. Companies should not be allowed to sell our data. If a person wants to sell their data, fine, that is their decision. They can do so with a voluntary opt-in and direct consent. Privacy and personal ownership of data should be the default.
To late ,this is the age of AI and it's is deceptive and dangerous. May I recommend Jesus the Christ to save you and ready you for His return.
@@michaelsmith2733 This is not the comment for that sort of discussion
Rep. McMorris is right, we must have data privacy for all US citizens as per the US Constitution so that nefarious actors like the CCP, Big Tech, FBI, and DHS cannot abuse there powers to subvert, commit criminal activities, or attack us like they have been for years.
Yeah welcome to your world where there's no apps because you don't know that that's how app creators keep the lights on and pay employees.
It's called commerce.
You don’t own your own content on Instagram either!
“Did your parents know you are an idiot?” answer me yes or no
No 😎
Maybe. Congressman-woman: No, so that is a no answer.
No
or
question of wisdom.
where is the "Innocent until proven guilty" at? this is an impartial trial and the way some of these congressman talking down to him as if he was already guilty and made up their mind is just pure madness. Even if all these claims are true, the way the this was handled was completely inappropiate and im ashamed to see this as a federal trial that represent our justice system.
Lady deadass said if u cant give me a 100% yes, im taking it as a no. Hate old white people speaking for this country
it's not a trial. it's a congressional hearing. read a book.
These senators are so rude and out of touch
They kept putting words in his mouth and not listening to his answears at all. They want to put fear in people so they can ban an app that gives voice to the people and hold these politicians accountable.
Yeah unfortunately it's pretty much just answer my question and then they grandstand and if you speak up they say it's their time to talk and not yours
No one on Tik Tok is holding anyone accountable for anything…especially themselves.
Because he was just spewing BS she was asking him if the CCP can do something, he was just saying we won’t do that, like he has more authority in China then the entire CCP
😂

It really makes me laugh when realizing hundreds of federal officials lying to Congress during last 3 years. Are we judging them under the same law?
Tictok is absolutely a weapon so is covid
DAMN RIGHT
Yeah but one was made intentionally to harm people and the other... Oh right.
Add Fentanyl and now the flesh eating drug TRANQ (which also induces flesh eating effects in users--death in a needle courtesy of CHINA--they have drawn first blood)
y ou have a lots evidence to show out....lol
@@RedYDG but one is from China and the other...oh right.
Why is this even a debate? Ban this cyber weapon already
Is just a circus. The need to make distractions everywhere.
We still live in procedures and due process. Innocent til proven guilty and not act like Dramacrats.
Hmmm I remember when the red hed press secretary was actually using TicToc as per Bidens request to find some good INFLUENCERS not to long ago!
@Ryan 😂
Ban face book and instagram with that logic then
Twitter done worse! 🤷♂️
yea but there’s more kids on tiktok than on twitter plus more ppl have died from tiktok challenges than twitter
@@kavid8120 who fault is it?? Not tiktok it’s the parents… tiktok shouldn’t be the parent…tiktok doesn’t tell people to go do crazy challenges to hurt themselves
@@youraveragepluto it’s called kids being kids. No matter how hard you try to block them from doing stuff they’ll always find a way…unless your kids are dumb which i fear your kids will be after seeing how dumb your mind is being right now.
@@kavid8120 Its the parents responsibility to raise their children, NOT a company that provides entertainment for individuals.
@@youraveragepluto I agree it is on the parents. The problem though is that TikTok is collecting direct data on US citizens for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party)
This entire hearing was a joke! And their treatment of Mr. Shou was absolutely appalling! They never let him speak, demanded "yes or no" answers to complex questions and the few answers he did give they said they didn't believe it and asserted their own biases anyway. They were all way too emotional about this.
We basically saw a bunch of people scared of the CCP spying through Tik Tok and they were going to make this the case regardless of what he said. I don't care about TIk Tok but this hearing was embarrassing for our government and it's freedoms. Ridiculously unfair and I believe he was doing his best to answer truthfully though they tried hard to make him look like a liar. Shameful behavior from Congress, our elected "representatives."
because they caught tiktok in a lie already with the first hearing and the US CEO of tiktok.
Yup it was just a bunch of bs. They had their minds already made up
Why are you defending congress when they didn’t even give the guy a chance to speak up for himself. How can us the citizens have the right to speak for ourselves when our congress is just interrupting the guy who is an American citizen and actually let himself to speak instead of getting interrupted. He should have a fair chance to speak for himself.
@@airisinme9845 because tiktok already spoke and lied in the first congressional hearing in Sept 2022. Why would congress allow tiktok to lie again?? time to asked some difficult and direct questions and stop the word salad lying. Let not forget, India has already banned tiktok for the same reasons, there is a history with tiktok.
Chicom shill
he is extrememly good at speaking precisely on his feet.
He has had to be to literally stay alive.
I think that's why congress took it even more personal due to them already knowing that he was going to try and slither out of answering the questions
@@alexlopez5800 Right and Jesus was trying to slither out of "Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar?".
@@alexlopez5800 the issue with that is that the questions were exceptionally stupid. like, those savagaes on north sentinel island would have been able to ask more intelligent questions.

social media in USA all have terms of service to track your movements throughout the service such as Amazon,google,Facebook, Twitter being that it logs and tracks your behavior. So much so that it suggests you content that you like

@@mayzee24 Its your apps. What apps you use, where you go in real life (Your phone has GPS, it knows you went to Panda Express last week or whatever). Its your apps. You volunteer to let them track you when you buy and use the apps.

Nice of you to grill these guys. Now could you do this to I dunno, big, old AMERICAN companies too???
One thing or platform at a time. Tik toks is first...
If you agree to their terms and conditions when you download the app then you agree to share info and data. If you’re scared of the new world and social media then just dont use apps period.
Ok that’s easy for an adult to do older people have no interest in the such but what about kids who all use tik tok? Should they just not use the app? Ofc that’s not gonna happen
Children are not legally capable of consenting to terms and conditions, per US law.
That's some pilpul you're trying to pull
@@shaynewalker3248 but you agree that majority of tik toks users are kids generally speaking?

@@vnthony2439 That's on Parents to decide that and a personal issue.
How can anyone 100% guarantee this and that? She is just unreasonable.
Let the Americana lawmakers become the shareholders of Tik tok and definitely they would not make threatening interrogation.
If that happens then the American government can regulate the only social media with free speech. TikTok is a large reason why Gen Z showed up for the last election, and it’s the ONLY social media platform that does not have current news being CENSORED. TikTok is so much more than any of you understand, we have communities for crocheting, painting, reading books, mental health, and a wealth of so much more information than I was ever exposed to on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. What I see there is just fighting and misinformation, and not to say there is no false information on TikTok but when there is people stitch the videos and call them out on it.
Shame on you all for being so set on your narrow minded opinion of an app you CLEARLY don’t understand. This CEO is not even being afforded the basic right of defending himself.
When this US does all the bad things around the world, can be seen as good, as great, as whatever the F,…, but to other countries seem to be evil to the world. They should put Bush, Obama on that F chair and question why all these joker attack Irag, Libya and now the joker Biden as well regarding Ukraine war!!!!!
Oh so I guess it's a problem when the US tries to defend itself against Chinese espionage? 🤦🏻
@@alexlopez5800 First there has to be espionage. Remember the mess with the USS Fitzgerald and Mccain? Everyone was screaming "Chinese hack our ships!!!" until the investigation showed insufficient training was the culprit. Too many people too eager to blame China for random made up crimes these days.

It already did in the case of FATCA, the presumption of criminality if you are an American living overseas.

They are so rude to him. It’s not his fault but it’s the parents fault for not monitoring their kids. Facebook and other platforms use our information too. So why aren’t we taking responsibility for our own actions why are we blaming other countries and people
It’s sad to see that these congressional hearings don’t lead to any arrests or actual consequences for most of the individuals that actually lie… 🤦🏽♂️
CCP bot, anyone who is making excuses for Tiktok, check when their profiel was created, these are all CCP bots!
Sounds like the witnesses for OPM and ATF need to be reminded of this
The WH needs to be reminded…
Every congress / senate person needs to disclose their finances, such as their bank accounts, especially their stock accounts. I bet some of them have social media stocks like FB, Twitter, ... in their stock portfolios. If that is true, this whole hearing is a serious violation of conflict of interest. People should look into this potential conflict.
The fact that both sides of our Gov hate tik tok makes me want to use it more. This data is useable by all social media companies and governments so what’s the issue
From the looks of it, some worry manipulation of people to allow China to invade Taiwan is the issue.
@@joshuamcgraw2588 which is funny because that's exactly what the US government does to justify its' own foreign endeavors
It’s because of the wide spread of information that’s kept from the public. THATS WHY THEYRE TRYING TO EITHER BAN OR CONTROL IT.
need to do this to facebook
I am sure it should do it again to facebook
It did it to itself. Hence why nobody doesn't use it anymore...
I like the mention of USC 18 Sec 1001 at the beginning. But, as a general question, how come no one ever gets indicted when they lie. There is generally more lies and truth, and they all know that no one gets prosecuted.
Except Roger Stone.
Plausible deniability...and lawyers.
They do sometimes, but this guy isn't lying he's just not pushing the narrative she wants to hear. That's why she has to beg the questions in this "gotcha" fashion instead of asking legitimate questions in good faith.
i think ppl just dont get the fact that the problem isnt what the company are going to promise, because promises are just words,its about the ownership of the company. which stated in the hearing that CCP spokesman said that chinese government has the authority and the final say over Tiktok's ownership. and why ownership is important?
Chinese National Intelligence Law, outlines that for "Chinese citizens and companies alike, participation in "intelligence work" is a legal responsibility and obligation, regardless of geographic boundaries.
so if CCP has final say over tiktok then tiktok is bound to obey CCP under chinese law.
and this is a potential danger that TIkTok can't prove to solve. unless CCP has no authority nor final say over tiktok in any type of way. but as CCP claimed, TIKTOK has to get permission from chinese government, period. if CCP can dictates TikTok then it proves TikTok can be controlled by CCP, they have not cut the tie, otherwise CCP wouldnt be able to have such claim.
@@Lucifer-fj7mg Yeah but TikTok isn't Douyin. Douyin is a Chinese server in the company in China. TikTok is the ring fenced "Western" version that is in California. They were separated so that the CCP can't censor TikTok and it works just as well for information going back to China. The Great Firewall works both ways you know.
He looks up for a question then looks back down. He could care less what they ask him...he is untouchable, just like Joe and Hunter. This is a mere inconvenience for him....

and this is a potential danger that TIkTok can't prove to solve. unless CCP has no authority nor final say over tiktok in any type of way. but as CCP claimed, TIKTOK has to get permission from chinese government, period. if CCP can dictates TikTok then it proves TikTok can be controlled by CCP, they have not cut the tie, otherwise CCP wouldnt be able to have such claim.
Both republican and democrats united to question him. They know he doesn't care and they know to ban it. He gave them a 100% good reason to do so...
If TikTok will have to give up stock right in America, then google, twitters, Facebook should give up their stocks and ownership in other countries too😂
So your happy with someone having direct access to all of your keystrokes and logins legally?😊😮
i think ppl just dont get the fact that the problem isnt what the company are going to promise, because promises are just words,its about the ownership of the company. which stated in the hearing that CCP spokesman said that chinese government has the authority and the final say over Tiktok's ownership. and why ownership is important?

Isn't it strange that in China Tic TOC is only allowed to be used as a educational tool?
Dipshit boomers going to have a whole opposite hearing about suppression of speech instead
so you’re telling me the Chinese govt doesn’t want to ruin the brains of the Chinese youth with how TikTok is everywhere else but they’re ok with everyone else’s youth getting destroyed ?
I
In other words… they want their youth to become smarter while the rest of the world gets dumber
LMAO This is what the Westerners don't want and that is to be educated.
How do you know? Do you know the Chinese language?
@Ela Tomala You Chinese? Living in China?
Ban it
Probably won't happen, though.
Can't do so. Bc your democracy doesn't allow banning of speech, remember? Gosh, I thought Americans were all for freedom when they actually support suppression of free speech.
@@jukio02 really huh mr ghost I think you become ghost cuz TikTok challenge huh LOL
@@zapzrr I honestly don't care if it gets ban or not. If a ban does occur, it's going to take awhile before it takes effect, like months. In that time, Bytedance could challenge it and get it reversed. It's not a sudden ban where it goes away tomorrow. Anyways, if it does get banned, it doesn't hurt me, it hurts million of Americans that make money from the app. They will have to find other ways to make money.
@@jukio02 Lol it probably already did...
All social media is being used as a psychological weapon, not just Tik-Tok
True
Specifically Tik tok. CCP owns tik Tok/bytedance
I just had a funny thought. This hearing was also a psychological weapon! lol.
WHat I and 150M americans saw and what mainstream media saw are 2 different things.
Talking about this will do nothing. If there is a treat to security by tiktok it should be deleted. Job done.
She is so rude😂
This country is doomed
This man is going to tell them whatever it takes to keep his organs in his own body.
Darth a FLG 🐀
The issue is that with any technology from any country you can do what she is asking. America has the ability to do it to others and has been. Even TH-cam. What this guy is saying is correct that it's up to him and how he handles thinks which will keep it safe. It's like how nuclear power can be used for war or for electric generation. It's up to the user and people in charge how it's used. He made promises and explained how he intends to keep TikTok safe despite it's dangers which is more than most of these idiots in congress ever have. I am anti CCP and china as a whole and even I thin this whole thing is stupid. Seriously, first google, then TH-cam, Apple and Facebook. When will it stop with the paranoid braindead congress people. They are just angry that people now have control over their own news and they want that power back
Just banned every foreign social media in U.S. and be like N.K. 😂
While I appreciate this stern woman's directness and firmness... Does she really believe this guy gives a damn to her "Your Under Oath" proclamation when our own U.S. folks under oath lie all day long and no one does a damn thing about it ..... B.S. theater at best !!!
I wouldn't applaud this woman's behavior. If you watch the entire hearing these people are entirely out of touch withy how technology works, and constantly won't let him answer direct questioning, along with constantly calling him a liar. It was appalling, and don't even get me started on how they kept asking him questions about him living in China even after being corrected that he's from Singapore. It's xenophobic, and they had it out for him since the start. Not how our government should be acting at all.

Hell the fbi do the same thing with Twitter lol the nerve of these people 😂 🤣
I still haven’t even put tiktok into a Google search.
Girl anything you putting into the Google search TikToks tracks it
I feel sorry for you. TikTok is life changing.
shits goofy, Ill never use ric tox
But you use Google........................................................
Google search already keeps your data 🤣
Trump got rid of Huawei and ZTE..for the same reason.
Tik tok tik tok tik tok...Time is running out
The congress woman mirrored her ilk and the hearing episode trumping up false charges without any proper causes and merits. The American Way: black is white, wrong is right, hell is heaven.
If you have TikTok, delete it!
Anyone using tiktok at this point is far beyond help. Their brains are mush.
you must do more than delete it........deleting it does not stop its data collection capability after it has been installed.
@Model Minority meh.....your choice.......for right now.
I was permanently band from ticktock with no chance of repeal b/c I mentioned Hunter was sleeping with his dead brothers wife and he uploaded it to a p0rmn site. I think it’s shocking but funny at the same time 😂
I won't even the banks and government has all your info. Just wait until Biden gets his dirty hands on your money. Or the scammers from India. Don't worry about Tiktok. Worry about the crooks in D.C.

All of these hearings are a joke. CEOs, politicians and others may get embarrassed for a few hours but that’s it. They fully avoid answering questions and there are no penalties. Great use of tax payer money. I’ll change my opinion when someone gets prosecuted and is incarcerated.
Yep. It's all theatrics for us.
They wouldn't even let this guy answer direct questions, and if he did they followed it up by calling him a liar. Don't even get me started on how they kept saying he's from China even after he corrected them about being from Singapore
The oval office don't even have 100% guarantee they cannot be used to support the CCP and they are demanding that to this guy? 😂😂😂
Do America understand their own technology or 6g tech??????
This cold war hysteria is embarrassing. So many cowards in this country…
This country was originally made up of bandits🤣

And fools!
Exactly this is old school cold war propaganda. News to the world China is not the Soviet Union so stop treating it as such
Arrest that man he COMMITTED espionage
Fake news
arrest all US officials they committed espionage against just about every country ever.
In the same way, you Americans in China will also be arrested. We are not afraid of you🤣，it's cold war now .isnt hot war
Nah, they should arrest George W. Bush for invading Iraq. Instead of issuing an arrest warrant to Putin... ICC= international criminal court now becomes international corrupted cartel.

There is Alot of scam cases every where. We have to be very careful always.
Rep. McMorris is right, we must have data privacy for all US citizens as per the US Constitution from nefarious actors like the CCP, Big Tech, FBI, and DHS are not allowed
What t f is 100% certainty?

Wow!
We need a data privacy bill!
then the tech industry dies.
Yep, and kill the tech industry and credit industry.
youre data privacy bill is FISA, albeit it is not in favor of privacy.
Then stay away from social media and internet. It's a double edged sword.

I feel better after reading the comments, it's nice to know some people see why this ban is being pushed
They're creating their own narratives, instead for looking for an answer they just opted the answer only they want to hear.
I believe all apps should be regulated. When they have the ability to spy on you on anyway there is an issue. These live feeds you enter thru have the ability to see and hear you just as you do them. Why one would think they couldn't is pure ignorance.
A lot of it is just fear mongering. So many people use apps nowadays that anyone who wants anything is going to wade through a planet's worth of data. 150 million US users. How much time do you have to sieve through that mess? It's like trying to find a book in a library without the catalogue or alphabetical author's filing. You can try doing that for a practical example of how that would work.
U.S. pot calls Chinese kettle black.
No one can guarantee anything 100%. There's something called uncertainty. The congresswoman needs to get some education. Also, she looks too angry.
The smirk he periodically sports is sickening.
How is this garbage in America?
@Mickey Andres
He’s American.
Are you?
He tried to weasel out of actually answering questions by giving a long form answer that says slightly different things than what was asked.
which is what conservatives do any time they're held to account, so it's hilarious that the GOP are losing their ignorant little minds here

How do you define regular in communication with someone which is so subjective 5:27 ? This man is not charged with a crime and had no legal representation. What does this woman know about 100% when you can’t even guarantee children are safe at schools where they are supposed to be 100% safe and secure.
That's a joke right? I would take the integrity of a Chinese made over any of the MEGA crowd in Congress.
