An 8 year old child should not own a phone to begin with
It starts with the parents. If your 8yo child has a phone, you should question yourself.
I agree. I would hate the idea of a my child watching these RUclips videos and being on social media talking to strangers but at the same time I know my child needs a phone for emergencies.
How so? You guys are stupid and are a part of the problem, one of them that is. Another problem is you don't understand the problem. A phone calls people. The internet and society is the issue. But you'd never admit to being part of the problem so you're good right?
They will live and learn just like you @@inmyexpression19
@inmyexpression19 when u were 8 what emergencies did u face lol
This man is sharp. His company is probably a net negative on the world but I can't help admire how prepared he is
Exactly right? His product is utterly garbage but he knows what he's saying and bad parenting is not his or tiko e teko fault...
He probably study the obvious topics of an interview in this niche
The people who use it are the problem
Agreed
I don’t know, I’ve seen a family restaurant suddenly get business bc the daughter posted a video of her mom sitting alone waiting for customers; some now-famous musicians used the app to gain an audience.
I think the jury is still out on social media in general, bc it provides what the news does not - ordinary people doing great and positive things. Of course there’s a lot of not-so-great content too, but yeah
I live in Chicago and kids over here have Guns and Drugs, and US congress’ main concern is whether a kid should be able to download TikTok. This country is a mess.
Guns with education its not a problem
Time to implement caning with jail time. Deport repeat offenders: resident, naturalized citizens, especially illegal immigrants.
Problem solved.
Yeah, because there are more kids using guns that posting on TikTok
Bring in the military to deal with thay problem.
A child growing up in real life will more likely use a gun responsibly compared to an iPad baby 🤦♂️
I can tell you’re from Chicago 😂💀 no-….. full front ^^
I like him. He didn't beat around the bush. And he gave coherent answers
All part of the plan to defend mega corporation CEOs.
@@averageuser2027 I'm not a fan of tik Tok. I think it's overall a bad influence on humanity. (Sure it can have good influence, but the administration actively encourages bad practices)
I just think it's a shame that the only person that answers questions to the point is a person that runs a company I don't like.
I wish the lizard zuck and politicians and whatnot would be this straightforward.
Coherent answers don't mean truthful answers
@@rickdalton1862 I agree. I'd rather have a blatant lie than beating around the bush. A lie can be found out.
He kinda moved the blame to everyone else tho
If you're the kind of person who's thinks "It's the states responsibility to content restrict my kid(s)" then you've already failed as a parent.
Like preventing porn on schools? Come on man!
......and we as a country will fail again when those that think we should censor or ban tiktok to save kids, it will set a precedence of censoring and banning across the board just like federal agencies did secretly at twitter. What should be under consideration is the states responsibility to guarantee privacy of data under the US constitution and a banning of companies who chose not to guarantee privacy of data then, legislate laws that make it the responsibility of parents to educate and provide boundaries for their children.
@@Mitramon that's your rebuttal? Do you not see a difference between "private life" vs "school life"? Of COURSE porn will be filtered in a school setting as the school is responsible as guardians during class times. And no, this isn't me contradicting myself it's me observing the context of the situation(s).
@@ralphbuchwitz saying you don't beleive in free speech is actually exercising free speech in a society like America that allows free speech. Ironically, cancelling people for saying they don't agree with free speech is actually ANTI-free speech. Try again. And @mrrey8937 is right. You are contradicting yourself!
@@ralphbuchwitz I cant respond to generalities.......I have no clue what you are speaking about
I don't like TikTok at all, but respect to this CEO for knowing his product really well and answering it straightforwardly, no bs
Well spoken too

@@CheckDisOutpeeps Salesmen and conmen always are 😉
Well of course. The entire ccps ( 1 billion peoples) reputation is on the line.
He definitely talked a lot of bullshit
The problem isn’t in the individual, it’s in society. A parent can easily prevent their kid from having a phone and watching tik tok. But it’s much more difficult to stop their kid from interacting with all the other kids who do look at it, and who show it to this kid. Because of things like tik tok, we live in a world where you either need to be a super controlling helicopter parent, or your kids gonna get corrupted pretty fast, because that’s the society the government has allowed
Very well said. The problem is indeed not with the parents; it's what we are accepting and allowing to exist as part of our society. If the app was banned, it would solve a drastic portion of the problem at hand. Why has it not been banned? Because nobody is taking the matter seriously. We live in a world where everything is now whatever and social ethics are going down the toilet...
@@WordsInVain why would you censor the Internet before censoring rap music and comic book films? You don't have a single proposal to create positive group norms and enforce them. In fact, you can't enforce good behavior because most people are intellectually incapable of behaving. Good luck getting Hispanics to not litter
This social media harm panic is super low IQ. America spares no opportunity to neglect and traumatize children and yet they claim they have moral authority.
I do agree with everything you've said but how are the kids going to get corrupted?
@@WordsInVain Which problems would be solved if Tiktok were to be banned?
Which social ethics are going down the toilet? Because I guarantee you that the social ethics of the past were much worse than now.
@@Tattlebot I don't see why rap music and comic book films need to be censored.
"You can't enforce good behavior because most people are intellectually incapable of behaving, good luck getting Hispanics not to litter." Flat out inaccurate and racist.
I WISH our country would have the "No one under the age of 13" law and the other law about a child under 2 not allowed to appear in online videos. Our country constantly screams about "protecting the children" but refuses to pass laws that actually would.
Bro imagine asking the CEO of a social media company to do the parenting for your children.
Tiktok could very well make it way harder for kids to access it, but they won't because it would mean less profits. Simply use methods to verify age, even if it means less costumers out of fear of stolen personal information.
Exactly
Are you that thick?
@@asggerpatton7169 🤡
It's doesn't have anything to do with parenting. It's part of corporate social responsibility and business ethics to make sure the type of contents they project doesn't have detrimental effects on children and society.
I love how congresswomen/men care about the children safety while let guns/drugs lose for full access by children of America. Nice job done.
Exactly like you can’t even make that shit up 😂

True CEO, no political BS, only crisp answers.
as a parents YOU, that is YOUR responsibility to take good care of your children.
American parents, are the type of parents who would let their kids play in traffic and then blame it on the drivers.
Sounds like parents in the US need to be parented first before they parent their children. Those parents include our politicians.
The thing u dont get is parent or not your kids will find a way to do what they want no matter how well you raised them
@@sijackex305 rubbish ...
Im a parent ...my teenage kids never went on tic tok ..PUBG...etc ..
They are busy with what they should be doing..studies and sports abd helping around the house and actually playing with friends ...gadget entertainment is with permissions...
And yes ..they do see things i wish they didnt but not at the cost of any of the above...
@Sweta Shetty i said whst they want to, i am not saying every kid is bad... i am saying if they want to, you cant stop them and you wont know no matter how much of a helicopter parent you are. Ofc unless you lock them inside the house and watch them 24/7
@Sweta Shetty and to add another point.. a lot of those types of parents have a "my job is to get them to do what i want until they move out" thinking what they do at their house is what they will do when they grow up. Which i am not saying is bad. I'm just saying that there is no 100% perfect way to raise a human
@Sweta Shetty Calm down, tiger. You are not a perfect parent. And you dont know everything about your kids. Period.
Gotta give credit where credit is due. This guys actually answered the questions. He didn’t dodge them like so many amaerican company leaders do. I still don’t like or use TikTok but this guy easily takes the cake for being the most prepared and again actually answering the questions.
I used tiktok yesterday and it's actually okay, basicly the app know what age you are base on your search history rather than youtube a lot of life hacks there, i have to uninstall it bcs it's kinda addicting.

Nope. When it came to something technical, Ceo says “he’ll get back to the senator’s question”. As a ceo he should know at least the basic technical aspects. CEO is acting dumb or maybe he is dumb. Or maybe he’s just being arrogant and rude, just like some people in singapore. Don’t believe me, go find out for yourself.

He’s basically saying, “We’re stepping out of the way for you parent your own child, and make laws about what you think is appropriate for your country’s children”
I literally despise Tik Tok but he’s able to flip America’s pride of freedom back on them, because parents really are so eager to irresponsibly shove electronics in their kids hands as soon as they can open their eyes and no one is striving to push legislation for age restrictions on social media. No one to blame but American parents.
CEOs aren’t going to make decisions in your kids best interests, that’s your job.
@@adamobrien7294 Ok but proof?
@@CapCreeperGR_Main Literally any child that consumes short form content
As opposed to figuratively despising tiktok?
Well yeah but the prevalence of sociopathy among CEOs is over 20 times higher than average, not exactly better than lazy parents. Go send your landlord a birthday cake :p
No a CEO won't, but that doesn't relinquish them of blame if they are the ones putting content out there - especially if it's illegal (talking in general - I'm not referring to tiktok specifically).
Why do young kids have phones? Who does an 8 year old need to call?
their parents?
What he really wanted to say was - “ I don’t want my kids absorbing that nonsense”

He's basically like "yall force me to make the app available to 8 year olds, and Singapore won't allow the app to accessible under 13 years of age. Talk to your government, not me" haha
Quite the opposite, he says that Singapore doesn't have restrictions, so he doesn't let his kids use it and they moonrise it to those kids. Whilst USA has COPPA, so there's restrictions he needs to abide by

Parenting 101!!!
No matter what, parents should take responsibility of their children. Giving your child a smartphone/tablet is not parenting.
I have a 13 year old child and there is no way I’ll ever let her have social media while she is a child. I’ve watched The Sound Of Freedom and many other incredible movies/ documentaries/ tv shows that discuss the horrific events around the world, so I refuse to allow my child to be exposed or become prey to any evil predators out there. Parents we are the shield that protects our children 😞
The only social media I was allowed to have when I was 13 was Facebook, only had family and IRL friends, and my parents monitored it. I don't have children but I fully agree, kids should not have any social media.
You can’t complain about your kids being influenced by social media if you let internet raise your kids. I wasn’t allowed on social media until my 16 birthday and even then, I couldn’t just post anything. If I was bored, I would have to read a book. These people are lazy parents and are blaming a social media platform for their failures
That’s extreme. I was raised like that and became extremely sneaky and because I had nothing to do all day, I matured quickly at 12 and started being “fast” and sneaking out. I’d let me child have a phone at 12 to contact me and have parental settings on their phone to monitor what they do at least, and at 14 I’ll unrestrict parental settings and check in once a week. At 16 I’ll fully unrestrict everything with no parental check ins.
Edit- This is my opinion and I just meant their parents seemed a little extreme to wait until 16. Also I can’t see comment reply’s since it doesn’t notify me and I only came from comment likes since I get notified on that. So if ur replying I probably won’t see it
and now you are here frustrated virgin expressing your damn views on a youtube comment section hahaha wow what a great person you've become
Your parents are TOP G.
Yeah, my parents were like this, except they never gave me a reason beyond ‘you’re too young and the internet is a bad place’. They were tech savvy or interested in learning either, so I happily used whatever site or app I wanted ever since I was 10. Oh the other hand I have friends whose parents also were strict about SM in varying degrees but openly spoke to their kids as to why, and while not all of them abstained from SM, they were definitely more cautious and stayed much safer than me.
@@jazlyn2721 that's your opinion. He/she was raised differently and appreciates it. I had my son at 17, didn't much about hoe to raise a child since I was child myself but when he turned 5 I started playing chess with him and slowly introduced him to drawing, math, football (soccer) and basketball. I grew up speaking french, so I took him to w french speaking school, in east africa many people also speak swahili, so I introduced him to it. I'm 33 now and he just turned 16 last month and will graduate high school in September. He perfectly speaks french, swahili, kinyarwanda (my mother tongue),english and a bit of japanese cause I made him love mangas and japanese anime. He is the best under 18, basketball player in the country, a black belt, one of the best chess players and is graduating in a combination of math, physics, chemistry and biology. He likes reading books more than social media, i've always made sure he makes his own life experiences instead of having to take other people's opinions, to make sure he has his own critical thinking about life. In africa, we highly respect elders, because they are wise. Age is a sign of wisdom, it's very important to humble your kids when they are still young and make sure they hold the family values, country, cultures and traditions.
Exactly parents should be watching their kids social media not just tik tok
Sadly alot of kids are latch key kids. Not just in the US but all over the world. Tiktok is china Spyware and that is the real issue.
Anyhow this thing is restricted or put as much parental control as you want this is soooooo addictive. When science is plug on your brain to check addiction they can see the same thing between a crak smoker and a tiktok watcher. 8 years old is wayyyyy to young
Impossible !!! Has to be blocked by provider !
@@3blu Sometime I wonder how we ALL ended up with a damn cellphone anyway. I was not aware of all the slaves mining for the minerals needed to build one. I did not realize I was influencing kids to use one just by using it. My niece she grew up mostly in her room with a cell and tiktok. She is now addicted to social media. She makes money and gets sooo much like but idk if it's a good thing. I just hope she will be happy.

A lot of people, including myself, hate TikTok and acknowledge it as overall damaging to the world population. However, I don’t blame the company or this ceo. It’s just people’s blind adoption of the app and letting it consume their day. Parents also have a responsibility to limit media usage at a younger age as that’s when the app can have massive negative impacts on the brain
I'm hardly on tik Tok like couple minutes every other day but real question How is it damaging to the world?

Very solid statement from the CEO, but all the parents who let their kids use this app are responsible for that as well! A kid shouldn’t be on this app, I couldn’t imagine the damage I would have when I would grow up as a child and be on tiktok
It's one thing to deny your kid a smartphone (they could still make perfect use of a regular cellphone to make calls and text), which could effectively hinder them access to the brian demage app at home. But parents cannot control what their children are being exposed to outside the home, when they are attending school, or hanging out with friends, or engaging in their extracurricular activities. There will still be exposure to the brіan demage app through a third party, as long as it remains publicly accessible.
@WordsInVain so many people dont realize this. "My child isnt on tiktok! They go outside and spend tine eith their friends!" And.. what exactly do you think they do outside and with friends? They arent playing with legos ill tell you that

Parents become responsible for their children's internet usage the minute they buy them a phone, tablet, or computer. This whole banning situation is not about protecting and caring for children. If it were then school shootings, child poverty, underfunded schools, foster system reform, free breakfast/lunch programs, etc would be a priority.

@@common_sense_supreme that’s exactly what he said.
He is literally saying that he accepts the TikTok ban for Singaporean kids but he doesn't want similar protections for American kids. How is that commendable?
This guy is incredibly composed under the fire. People keep wanting to point the finger and find someone to blame. Look inwards for blame, don't blame this entrepreneur.
This "entrepreneur" literally admitted to the CCP being able to manipulate data on TikTok during this very same questioning.
@@Zaggy221 well that’s a given, and don’t you think other intelligence agencies have that same plug into Facebooks suite of products or Googles?
@@Noname-wz1yyit's because this ceo is not white and looks chinese. Because china = evil and America = good
@@Zaggy221CCP bad, NSA good. Good texan dropout 😂
But a lot of children i know use their parents phone to watch tiktok, thry dont have an acount. They give the phone to their children to keep them quiet. Then they create the addiction. Americans use to blame others for their own responsibilities.
Let’s not forget these apps will still track your child’s development based on their app usage. Sure, the company says that you, as the parent, have the freedom to choose what your children have in the way of electronics and app usage, but the social media platforms will always be the middleman between you and your child’s app usage, which they gladly assume.
Concern should be about social media in general, not just Tik Tok.
Ikr
Well yeah. They went after Zuckerberg and other US tech company CEOs numerous times already. As they should. I’m surprised they even took this long to finally go after TikTok..
The main concern is about China owning Tiktok, which is a huge risk factor and why IMHO it should be banned. The dangers with social media in general should be adressed on top of that.
@@maxjames00077 Lmao. As if Meta doesn't sell it's data to China and Russia. May I need to remind you Cambridge Analytica? Tiktok is no worse than any other social media company, you braindead. Even US govt harvest your data.
Yeah but US controls all the rest. So...
His kids aren't on TikTok because they are too busy studying.
Average Singaporean Experience
Well if you go to most Asian countries, all kids are busy studying
Better culture
Probably on Weibo
@@skyOH7 true, but Philippines isn't one of those Asian countries. We also have that TikTok addiction here just like the US. well of course, cause the Philippines is always copying US 🙄 if US is going dumb so is the Philippines
I don't even use TikTok but after watching all these videos, their CEO, Mr. Chew, has my respect.
I am having second major embarrassment from this debate. These politicians have no idea what they are talking about.
They may have no idea what are they asking or talking about but their objectives are pretty clear: Make TT to give up their ownership to US or ban TT totally if it belongs to China.
You guys are really exaggerating here, both his answers and her questions were completely appropriate and not outrageous at all
First time I've seen somebody give direct answers to questions
Yes, yes, yes ...😅
Very sharp ceo with good answers so far! I'm impressed 🎉
"Your country has better standards for children being on the internet than we do... can you explain how that's your fault?"
This is why entrepreneurs will always outsmart politicians.
Bro what
he’s not an entrepreneur but a business executive
@@karolpasternak9833 After the Communist Party chief and team fled the United States.
A Singaporean executive vindicates the Communist Party company
@@newchris2886 China has never left the US. The corporate industrial bank of China rents 3 floors of Trump Tower and Mitch married into a very wealthy Chinese family.
China is not communist either. They still have currency and barely even have workers rights. The CCP was merely created to push down the communist movement in China. Basically a puppet party that was designed to placate communists.
This is why anyone can outsmart a fuckin politician
this guy purchased a bungalow in Singapore for a cool 86 million. after listening to him i now understand why he is so capable
See when they let him speak he makes a lot of sense
Why do Americans expect an app to do the parenting for them? Why don’t you have more control over your kids? A child should not own a mobile phone until at least age 12. Access to devices should be under parental supervision on weekends only. That’s what happens in my family. Even my niece did not own her own mobile phone until 17.
Mr Shou Chew indeed wants his kids " brain " not to get " chewed " by TIC-TAK 😂 hence his restriction on them
If you listened he would allow it but the Singapore government has restriction so that under 13s cannot use it. The big question is why the US does not implement a similar restriction…
@@hotstar6742 bro its US govt's fault . Not your or mine or anybody else fault . But atleast US senators are atleast grilling them .
I live in another country , outside of US to say . Here tictok is banned for political reasons as our Govt does not like Chinese govt and has border issues with them . Hence my country's govt axed tiktok from playstore by forcing google .
If my govt didn't had any border issues with Chinese then chances are high enough that tictok would have been here .
Even my country's central govt has not considered the bad effects of this app .
Singaporeans are quite smart politicians . They ban things that really put bad impact on society .
Rest of the world is dancing under freedom . Too much freedom is also not good . In disguise bad actors can use that very ' total freedom ' to make handicap a perfect society !
This isn't even the CEO's native language, but he sure speaks with more common sense than our politicians...
Ceo is from Singapore. English is our native language. We just look different...
Singaporean Chinese spoke English ,some don't even know chinese
CEO went to Harvard m8, and he’s Singaporean, not Chinese (Singaporeans mainly speak English as their first language)
FYI, He is not Chinese and he is from Singapore where English is official language. Every transfer Singapore students I encountered back to my years in Peking University, all speak perfectly English.
@@knltk87 i thought singapore speaks malay?
This man handled way better than Facebook CEO, who was lost most of the time while answering.
To be fair this CEO has the advantage of being a humanoid not a reptilian.
it's sensible to be lost tho since some of those questions by those government people do make you go "huh??"
Facebook ceos don't give a shit they just want money and promotions
This reminds me of Mark Zuck having to explain that they run ads on their platform for money😂
Why is everyone talking so positively here? The dude straight up avoided the last question and couldn't give a good answer for why he hasn't implemented the same policies in his home country.
Because everyone here are idiots and not seeing the real issue.
We are the Congress. We will ask the questions but will only let you speak if the answers you give are ones we want to hear.
My sympathy goes to this poor man who is so being BULLIED by those hypocrites 🙄 And he is handsome!
Wow u can’t be that dense can you be???
You never seen a man in your life?
Obvious CCP troll is obvious.
@@common_sense_supreme oh yes, I see you comment under whoever positive to the ceo a ccp bot, you must work for cia🤡
@@goldenstatewarriors4011 not everyone man is confident, well spoken and doesn't lose his temper
Did I hear that right? Did he essentially say in the US it’s illegal not to permit access to young kids?
i know someone who, every time they say they're not going to let their future kids have electronics till they're older, they get laughed at. they know people laugh because countless parents have said that and failed, (they want their kids to leave them alone and enjoy the private time they get once said children are glued to screens) but to me it shows we've gotten to a point where people don't even believe it's possible for a child to have a life that isn't orchestrated by the internet
That was one of the best congress videos I've seen, Mr. Shou is really good.
I have 2 kids, 7yo and 10yo. I monitor their Tiktok usage with the family pairing tool and restrict them to 1 hr screen time on weekdays, and more on weekends -- subject to whether they have been on their best behavior. I also give them additional screen time if they can show me something educational or useful they have seen. This incentivizes them to watch more than just inane content and it works. Ultimately, parents shouldn't be expecting private companies to do the parenting for them or expect the government to ban all the new techie stuff they don't understand or dislike. That's not going to work in the era of technology.
tiktok is spyware owned by the chinese communist party. No one should be using that app
I see where you’re coming from, but I dislike the idea that rewards and punishments are needs to guide children’s education. I believe that unless the outcome is fatal or life changing, one should just let kids be wrong and embrace the consequences. If I watch educational documentaries for the sake of reporting to parents in exchange for screen time, then it’s like a bounty rather than a self motivated cause. Same for punishments. If kids like inappropriate vids, they’ll find ways to get around the grey areas of punishment. They should realise from the bottom of their heart that good things are good and bad things are bad.
I don't have tik-tok. And my children don't have tik-tok. But it still leaks to RUclips.
@@justkev1044 Tell me how that works out when you have kids.
@@justkev1044the outcome IS life changing though...
Parents are responsible for their children. Not government.
In short, he cares for his kids because of Singapore's law blah blah blah, but he doesn't care for the rest of the world.
So typical.
Singapore is the country you send your children to when you want them to perform
You get woop in Asian countries 😅
Singapore gov hv told that parents should be responsible for their kids learning and growing, not the school or any other parties!
Typically in Asian countries, the culture is the parents are blamed for their children's misbehavior.
Francois Essomba Absolutely. Our 15 year olds were ranked No 1 in the world for “global competence” and second for maths, science, reading and critical thinking (ability to use knowledge and skills to meet real life challenges) by PISA (OECD Program for International Student Assessment) in 2018.
It is no one else's responsibility to parent your child. If your child ends up being a moron, that's YOUR FAULT, not the damn tiktok ceo's.
The problem is, there are TOO MANY morons out there and it becomes a domino effect. Let all those morons let their kids use Tiktok 24.7 and they all grow up with mental problems and have kids their have parents with mental problems etc.
He doesn’t want to let his kids on his own app because they know it’ll deteriorate their brains for all the nonsense that’s on there 😂
TikTok is a modern Chinese weapon meant to engage in psychological warfare, to destroy the cultural cohesion of western countries while protecting their own.
Totally agree with everyone here, stating that it's the parents' job to raise their kids. But let's not forget the massive social responsibility tech companies have - and often ignore. Looking after your children does not negate the responsibility of tech companies to not make platforms accessible, which can exploit a child or be harmful to it through its own systems.
Regulation is not a substitute for parenting, but it still needs to happen in addition to it.
this is why we have parental lock controls, you cant blame the companies because the parents cant control their children.
Why should they have to regulate it at all? They are providing a platform that humans use, why should they be responsible for the behaviours of it's users?
@@handlsarelameBecause 8 year old kids shouldn’t be able to find cartel gore videos.
@@Krooksbane parent's issue
Lmao what?
You as a parent have full control of what your 8 year old does.
My daughter doesnt go on tiktok, she has a ipad without any parental restrictions.
But all her accounts are my accounts, i monitor everything she watches and does on that thing
Saying its the platforms problem is downright avoiding responcibility.
The questions asked by the Congressmen and women gave me an impression that child protection issue in social media platforms are used as an excuse but not the ultimate aims of this hearing. They parroting it but never meant it.
"Why don't you let your 8th year old on Tik Tok"
Becuase he is a good parent. Don't attack the CEO and Social Media for bad parenting. Give your kids crayons not iPhones.
Its funny to think Mr. Chu chu seats HIGHER in the CCP rank than even Xi the Pooh
I disagree!! Last time I saw a 4 yo sittin in a cart alone at the mall watching a TikTok about racism, that gave me the headshot
This is national disgrace. All these Congress members has no common sense
Have*
This man is more prepared than any government official that is called upon in recent senate hearing where the only thing they say is basically they don’t know shit
Very well prepared.
This event only made me love TikTok and their leadership even more. Look at how the bullies gang up together?
Did you pay attention to what he said and didn't say? Personally I think TikTok is stupid. I've seen ads and I have no interest in downloading it. That being said, I found nothing in his hours of testimony to make me less concerned much less like the leadership. He needed to press one thing and one thing only. That he was not a pawn of the Chinese government and TikTok was not and never would be a threat to the American public. Not only did he not say that, his half answers were enough to get me concerned where I was not before.
Cause he is a ASIAN! How dare an yellow boy makes more money then us superior white lmfao
BrainwShed sheeple
Obvious CCP troll is obvious.
Fuckung ccp shill right here
I detest what TikTok’s become over the years but I love this man forever with that straight truthful answer ❤
ooof y’all really love a slick talker in a suit and shiny hair 😂
Never heard anyone at a congressional thing answer as direct and concise as him……
her questions were probably the best out of all of them his answers were also great
During my time, we were using blogs. Gone are the days where children still know how to write.
PARENTS NEEDS TO BE
RESPONSIBLE when it comes
to social media/tik tok,etc........
& NOT let their young kids
mindlessly scrolling the use
of smartphones......PARENTS
are responsible for it..& NOT
the creators of these apps..
WHY does this ceo have to
be questioned?!! WTF!!??
