He basically asked why US law is more tolerent to drug issues than China. Anyone who releases drug related content on China media platforms will be in jail.

On douyin you can post informational videos about drugs but yeah your right, the CEO was telling them to stick to US laws instead of laws in China…. Damn

@@RobbieForReal for the false pretense questions, I fully understand. And I’m pretty sure most of the senators did not write nor understand “their” questions. I am talking about the questions that should be given yes or no answers. There were a few times that I heard him say data storage is not an issue, just to find out that it won’t be an issue once the project is complete. I was honestly on his side with a lot of his answers. If they are enacting those changes, then great. But some of the answers kind of highlight a risk that they aren’t or at least not everything they are saying. China’s government interaction with its businesses is a large influence. How would we feel if a US company disobeyed federal law? So I believe the concern is valid, but I hope that he is being honest. If so, then he is right. They are doing more than most US companies to meet regulations and general unregulated standards.

I’ve never seen so much disrespect. This is not a fair trial. Let the American people listen to what he has to say so we can decide for ourselves. I’ve had TikTok for years and I’ve never had any of those TikTok’s that they’re saying shoved down my throat. My tik tok consists of art, funny videos, and graphic design. It’s absolutely ridiculous how little they know about the app before bringing it to trial. They don’t even know how wifi works! Our government is the laughing stock of the world. If America wants to do something about the dangerous content being put on Tik Tok, arrest the AMERICANS that are putting the dangerous content out there! They’re wondering why other countries aren’t having this problem because they’re too ignorant to see that America is the problem. The Chinese aren’t forcing Americans to put dangerous content out there, America raised these psychopaths that are doing it.

I like how he set up Chew up with that question about how they will control for malicious actors in the EXTERNAL COMPANIES auditing the code. That's like asking how corporations will control for malicious actors within the SEC when they're auditing the financials. What a scumbag.
Parents complain about their kids being on TikTok but yet they go and make videos on TikTok to become famous and to make money make it make sense please
Because the same parents using tiktok aren't the parents complaining about it most of the time. Most parents who don't use tiktok complain about it the most.
Kids are also doing dumb TikTok challenges and learning how to break into and steal cars. Let’s tell the whole story and not a far-fetched fantasy of it
They have definitely already made up their mind before hearing out Chew. That’s not fair. I can tell Chew is getting mad because the questions these congressmen are asking are all the same, and Chew is giving good answers to all of them. But congress doesn’t let him finish his argument…
That took too long. I have a complaint about the lack of professionalism in the way they were asking questions. Only few of them. They didn't even let him respond properly. They whether scream or insist on what they say to make it seem like kt is the right thing
1:57:20 If you really care about your kids, your childrens why havent you done something to protect them, 647 mass shootings for last year and 693 in 2021, and the fact that More than 1,300 teens (ages 12-17) were killed in 2022 is SOOO ridiculous..
That’s because the US Gov has their hands in Facebook/Meta. When Shou said “TikTok will not be manipulated by any government” is exactly why they want the app banned.
1:51:06 I like Ms. Clarke (NY). She brought up a very important discrimination issue that has a significant impact to users and suggests that Chew find ways to ensure that those issues are addressed. She addressed the issues firmly and respectably, and I can only hope Chew takes her words to heart. Unfortunate that he doesn't get an opportunity to respond due to the 5 minute time limit.
Bad at asking the wrong questions! These aren’t multiple choice questions. There are important topics here that deserve a conversation not whatever this is. 🤦🏾♂️
This is so agitating. If you just want to interrupt the whole time and not let the dude answer and have answers to all the questions yourself, then why ask. This is such a shame that the people that incompetent, unable to actually hear people, having so much of prejudice which by the way are so baseless that’s making even a normal people with just a lil bit of knowledge of technology laugh are in hold of such big power.
of the 5+ hours of bombarding the CEO with blanket statements with zero opportunity to respond, 2:20:30 is really the only 5 minute window of actual productive open discussion made. bump
I don’t think congress understood when TikTok said they are sharing the source code with them, that really is full transparency. I don’t know of any other tech company willing to share their intellectual property like this.
these judges are ridiculous, even i as a 15 year old can ask better questions and make better points than these bozos. Either way tic tok doesn’t deserve to be banned, instagram is just like tic tok and doesn’t get banned, facebook is worse than tic tok and doesn’t get banned, get a grip💀
I love how they would ask a question, chew would respond with an answer that they wouldn’t understand, and then just ask the question again like he never answered the question.
The way they never let the CEO respond and explain his companies actions just screams that they didn’t want understanding at all. They wanted essentially a “gotcha” moment.
Any media can collect, share or sell users data with their consent for advertising purpose. Asking TikTok above the common practice is just discriminating and unfair. Two things I don't like Mr Chew's answer and make these two companies commingled. 1) TikTok and ByteDance share the same legal counsel. 2) TikTok payroll come directly from ByteDance.
Are they even hearing themselves and realise how idiotic they sound? Most of them seem to have come with a preconceived notion that TikTok is guilty no matter what and nothing that the chief says or evidence he produces can change their minds.
These people honestly must just love to hear himself talk, because the second he tries to get a word in on evidence as to why this is not true they're always like just say yes or no yes or no can never be a valid answer for such questions that they ask
Good thought but bad execution. Kids will get annoyed and then there will be videos that pop up saying how to be sneaky and watch TikTok without parental oversight
@@MasterTrizzle bad execution sure but that still doesn’t answer the fact that most of us on TikTok use are heads and don’t go off killing ourselves and killing others.

Bans on TikTok could have a significant and harmful impact on the free expression of ideas by users of the app. A ban could also prevent Americans from accessing a popular platform that is beneficial for creative expression, economic growth, and communication. Furthermore, a ban could impede on American businesses' ability to reach key global markets, as well as a vast user base that is estimated to be around 800 million. Additionally, it could limit the ability of social media influencers to share their content with a global audience as TikTok is a significant platform for this purpose.
Americans made money before this app, and the United States and its citizens had global influence before this app. Both of these facts will remain true after this app goes dark.

They have not only already made up their minds about something they have extremely limited knowledge about but refuse to be educated about the details of the subject.

I am from mainland China, and everything Rubio said is true. I can guarantee it with my personality. Rubio's examples about the elections in Taiwan and the United States are very correct and true. In the Hong Kong incident, the CCP government used the police to suppress the Hong Kong people who defended their rights, but in mainland China, the CCP government used the media and the automatic skipping company tiktok to portray the people in Hong Kong who defended their rights as mobs. The truth is that the people of Hong Kong are only upholding their own laws and rights. I worked as an auditor at the Auto-Jumping Company. All things, news and speeches that are not conducive to the Chinese Communist Party are not allowed to be broadcast. Some major disasters are not allowed to be broadcast freely. They must be in line with the government’s caliber or approved by the government. Can broadcast. The common people are deceived, and many things are not allowed to know the real situation. The government publicizes its evil deeds through the media and small and long videos. He cannot speak, and once the government finds out, he will be arrested by the police. The United States is a free and democratic country, please maintain your system and freedom.

Politely Disagree, what people See on social media always have an impact on their mind, from very little to big.
You believe people--specifically youngsters-- have wittingly subjected themselves to personal and national security concerns, attention span issues, mental health issues, etc.? What about those who didn't understand the risks? What if the risks were not made known or were "downplayed" by those profiting off of the harm of others? Does Congress not have the authority to hold such hearing or to potentially use their findings to make laws concerning health and safety? Are scrolly apps an absolute right which trumps all others?

@@RobbieForReal for the false pretense questions, I fully understand. And I’m pretty sure most of the senators did not write nor understand “their” questions. I am talking about the questions that should be given yes or no answers. There were a few times that I heard him say data storage is not an issue, just to find out that it won’t be an issue once the project is complete. I was honestly on his side with a lot of his answers. If they are enacting those changes, then great. But some of the answers kind of highlight a risk that they aren’t or at least not everything they are saying. China’s government interaction with its businesses is a large influence. How would we feel if a US company disobeyed federal law? So I believe the concern is valid, but I hope that he is being honest. If so, then he is right. They are doing more than most US companies to meet regulations and general unregulated standards. I think that this is a legitimate hearing, just that the senators probably don’t quite understand what the questions were trying to get at and why

Are they even hearing themselves and realise how idiotic they sound? Most of them seem to have come with a preconceived notion that TikTok is guilty no matter what and nothing that the chief says or evidence he produces can change their minds.
Was this recorded in 2023 or 1950?
These people honestly must just love to hear himself talk, because the second he tries to get a word in on evidence as to why this is not true they're always like just say yes or no yes or no can never be a valid answer for such questions that they ask
Any social media parents should be watching their children while they are on social media
Good thought but bad execution. Kids will get annoyed and then there will be videos that pop up saying how to be sneaky and watch TikTok without parental oversight
@@MasterTrizzle true. But seriously, we can live just fine without TT
@@ismaelcarrillo3956 Right 🤷🏽♂️ it’ll help me decrease my screen time
@@MasterTrizzle bad execution sure but that still doesn’t answer the fact that most of us on TikTok use are heads and don’t go off killing ourselves and killing others. Btw there’s been horrific challenges on Reddit and twitter. So I’m just saying if there’s a handful of ppl killing themselves and doing bad they need some type of supervision
@@sylyxgotti4552 YES!!! I was thinking this when they kept bringing up the fact that people died and they also they brought up the fact that other social media apps are doing the same thing!!!!
wow let the man speak !
So he can run out his time without directing answering the question.
"yes" or "no" is what he has the right to answering. you must be new to this line of questioning
@@ismaelcarrillo3956 you’re literally going around reply section to reply section arguing with anyone against the way the congressmen/-women conducted themselves and the case. Tell me you’re biased without telling me.
@MrXceller
That doesn't make sense, some questions need to be explained
Bans on TikTok could have a significant and harmful impact on the free expression of ideas by users of the app. A ban could also prevent Americans from accessing a popular platform that is beneficial for creative expression, economic growth, and communication. Furthermore, a ban could impede on American businesses' ability to reach key global markets, as well as a vast user base that is estimated to be around 800 million. Additionally, it could limit the ability of social media influencers to share their content with a global audience as TikTok is a significant platform for this purpose.
😂😂😂🥴🥱😬😑
Ok now say the negatives of TikTok
Americans made money before this app, and the United States and its citizens had global influence before this app. Both of these facts will remain true after this app goes dark.

Parental responsibility is a key method, to combat all these major concerns
Same way when you drive a car. You the driver are responsible for your driving not the manufacturer
