There was one with some IT background who had some legit questions regarding the feasibility of the project to wall off US personal data from China. However, I agree that most of these questions are nonsense
My former English teacher, who was a kind old man, told me that many members of the U.S. Congress lacked basic knowledge of science and engineering. Now I believe it.
its actually not stupid. look at yourself in the mirror and think about what he is trying to ask... Its about accessing other devices beyond internet.. by accessing he means if the app does anything about those devices which it has no need to.
Been in cybersecurity for years, the question is not stupid just because you do not understand. Tiktok (and countless other apps) will access your network, they can monitor your traffic the same as your ISP will. Typically big companies like this will collect this data, save it and then use it to personalize ads or content you receive. Congress is worried that in Tiktok's case, they are collecting this data and then selling it back to the Chinese government. That is essentially the question he is asking.
@@newdawnfades263you didn’t understand the question he asked. But he could of phrase it better. He was asking IF tiktok could access other devices connected to the same wifi network. Think of it like how Bluetooth can discover your wireless device by pairing/ syncing with it, but on the WLAN network instead, open connection devices with no security can be discovered and accessed. This was a very valid technical question but it was not worded correctly, and notice how the ceo said he would get back to him on that if its a technical question, he understood.
I knew exactly what the congressman was trying to ask. It’s the question that needs to be asked but that the CEO will do anything to dance around. The CEO is going to do anything he can to avoid admitting the extreme anti-privacy practices that TikTok uses.
“Mr. Chew, If I tapped the lock button on my iPhone will it lock my door?” “Senator, I’m not sure about that, you would have to ask the manufacturer” “Mr. Chew, If I can lock my door using this button can it then access the other Phones in my house to lock the other doors?” “Senator, I am not sure, I believe it is a technical problem, I will get back to you.” “I am counting on you, Mr. Chew.”
Brother, at the end of the day all the CEO said was let me get back to you, he knew he couldn't simply say no. The question totally make sense, why put so much effort into his mimics to make the CM look stupid (looks like he's addressing a child) when all he could have said is "no", and btw if I'm connected to your wifi it is utterly easy to get a scan of all connected devices, but yh support the data farms, they're so edgy and quirky
worse man. the public and system is, what they say doesn't reflect what they think. it reflects what narrative they're trying to manipulate into being accepted.
If you think the question was dumb, why didn't the CEO refute the claim that it can access other devices on the network?? He said he didn't know. How could the head of the entire company not know for sure if the app access other devices on the network 🤯🤯 What's even more mind boggling is thousands of commentators on here all missed this question and out of an abundance of confidence, call the person asking this stupid.
The first question was silly. But he corrected it later by asking if TikTok could try to access other devices connected to the same network which was a legitimate question. Nothing stupid there. If TikTok from a child's device introduces Trojans into all devices that are connected to the same network, then it could get access to the dad's or mom's work laptop 😮😮
basically he has to ask that question to establish the precedent that allows him to ask the next question, since although it's a known fact, they still need to establish that tiktok can access the wifi before asking if it can access other devices on the network, which is the question he dodges.
he was asking if it had access to the network and other devices that are also on the network, like can you phone running the tik tok app access your pc that is also on the same network. it is a legitimate question. have you never looked up something on your phone only to see ads for what you looked up earlier appear on you pc? or get friend suggestions for people who share the wifi at work for example?

Chew is doing that on purpose to make the guy asking the question seem really dumb. He’s highly skilled at negotiation, however it’s just a technique in response to the technique used by the guy asking the questions.

Then, listen to the answer, he "didn't know"? Bs, he knew. The answer is yes, he knows it's yes. He didn't ask if what they do is standard for the industry either, that's not what they're there to talk about.
because this way it looks like they are actually investigating, but in the process they act stupid and ask stupid questions so the real issue is never addressed...they preffer to look stupid than evil, and it works!
@@itsir2u because theoretically any aplication that connects to wi-fi can access other devices on the same network but tik tok has no use connecting to other devices on the local network (doing that would have multiple complications and would depend on which other type of devices are connected) so the question itself is stupid.
"Can it connect to other devices on the network?" is the literal point of having a network is to connect devices. It's like asking if cars can use roads to drive to other places? Sometimes being asked something so obvious can throw you because you're trying to work out what the real question is@@itsir2u
Well, the comments are all wrong. The question is very very legitimate. For instance, Google Maps detects (doesn't connect) to multiple nearby WiFi signals to triangulate it's location in indoor settings like malls, to inform Google Ads if someone has converted from the ads, which is obviously not anything to do with the intended use of the app. The fact he is elite level dodging, and using "We don't do anything outside normal industry norms" answer suggests that they may indeed be getting more than just internet from the WiFi network, it might be getting data on the network devices and potentially monitoring traffic.
@@saernst and its not even that hard for tic tok to gather an collect info on devices connected on the same network. Unless they have a firewall etc. And even if they arnt gathering this data ( no way they arnt). They app is self is a cyber weapon. They could easily convince many users I ceritain demographics to protest or cause chaos.
Actually I don’t find it dumb because if you have an app that can see and gather information of all the devices connected in your local network, potentially that company could get access to the devices in your network, if they have malicious intentions.
@@luigitavarezklk07You're not fully understanding the tech, so your logic doesn't work. Do many apps have the ability to talk to multiple devices on the same wifi? When permission is granted by the user, yes. When permission isn't granted by the user, no.
The bigger problem is just apps logging wifi signal strengths around you to see where you are at any given time compared to other users of the app. This data can be used to create a relational profile between you and people around you. These companies know more about the people that you surround yourself with than you do :D
@@JaYEBuLL "when permission is granted by the user, yes" Well if permission isn't granted, then you don't get to use the app. Most apps are like this, you give consent at installation. The notion of it being beyond the industry norms doesn't mean it isn't doing things it's not supposed to. The industry norm could be stealing consumers data. So just because every other company does it, doesn't mean it's right. The question is actually valid, the congressman just didn't phrase it correctly because he doesn't fully understand what he is asking.
I love when Congressmen are trying to understand technology. And they are trying to make laws. They should be way more worried about Amazon and Google.
What's sad is that you haven't recognized these televised events are political theater. Congress comes to their decisions independent of these hearings and the only real purpose they serve is to give the politicians some screen time and the opportunity to grandstand. Asking irrelevant or stupid questions is a common tactic for both saying nothing and feigning ignorance. So he does not come off as a radical, this congressman is using his screen time by throwing softballs.
Congressman asked "If i fart, can china collect my fart, decode my DNA from my fart, and DNA to access my WIFI? So my question is can China use my fart to take control of my WIFI network?"

If I had to answer to those🙄 questions, I think I would have laughed. Strong mind🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
@@copysamurai but he didn't answer the question. He acted like he didn't understand what he was asking, like it was a stupid question. He did it so well that he fooled everyone watching. He was very obviously asking if tiktok will get information from other devices on your network when YOU log into it on your phone. That's what he meant by network, the other devices on the network.
Then, listen to the answer, he "didn't know"? Bs, he knew. The answer is yes, he knows it's yes. He didn't ask if what they do is standard for the industry either, that's not what they're there to talk about.
Mr. Chew, can Tik Tok access the few brain cells I have left from hanging around with my MAGA buddies?
Is he okay? He sounds extremely confused, American congress is such a joke.
Your kindergarten teacher: there are no dumb questions
This man:
Just remember there a lot in US congress
In ma phone i clicked on acceptin tiktok cookies, it ain't delivered yet.
There are absolutely stupid questions with obvious answers, like "Did any US congressmen go to school?"
"Mr. Chew, if I increase my phone volume, will my music be louder?"
"Mr. Chew if I use incognito mode on Google will I become invincible?"
"Mr Chew in order to navigate in your platform, do i really need a boat?"
Why are technologically deficient people in charge of a tech case?
because this way it looks like they are actually investigating, but in the process they act stupid and ask stupid questions so the real issue is never addressed...they preffer to look stupid than evil, and it works!
If it is such a dumb question, why can’t it be answered easily?
@@itsir2uThat is also a very stupid question.
@@itsir2u because theoretically any aplication that connects to wi-fi can access other devices on the same network but tik tok has no use connecting to other devices on the local network (doing that would have multiple complications and would depend on which other type of devices are connected) so the question itself is stupid.
"Can it connect to other devices on the network?" is the literal point of having a network is to connect devices. It's like asking if cars can use roads to drive to other places? Sometimes being asked something so obvious can throw you because you're trying to work out what the real question is@@itsir2u
Mr. Chew, is it recommended that I use oven gloves when turning on the hotspot?
This is underrated
THIS ONE KILLED ME OMGGGGG
Ke-ke-ke.
Only if the user decides to put on the oven gloves
Single handedly the most stupid question I've ever heard anyone ask
"Mr. Chew, is social media social?"
Thank you all in the comments. I really needed this laugh today
Well, the comments are all wrong. The question is very very legitimate. For instance, Google Maps detects (doesn't connect) to multiple nearby WiFi signals to triangulate it's location in indoor settings like malls, to inform Google Ads if someone has converted from the ads, which is obviously not anything to do with the intended use of the app.
The fact he is elite level dodging, and using "We don't do anything outside normal industry norms" answer suggests that they may indeed be getting more than just internet from the WiFi network, it might be getting data on the network devices and potentially monitoring traffic.
🤓🤓🤓
Peace out brotha, it will get better.
@@saernst and its not even that hard for tic tok to gather an collect info on devices connected on the same network. Unless they have a firewall etc. And even if they arnt gathering this data ( no way they arnt). They app is self is a cyber weapon. They could easily convince many users I ceritain demographics to protest or cause chaos.
@@saernst🤓
Where do these politicians come from? The stupidity is astounding!
It's called being American
Can you please explain why this is a stupid question? As you seem to be an expert on the topic with a comment like that.
@@Robstrap do you know how phones work? And how WiFi works?
@@PretzelGuy5280 Yes, but can you explain why this is a stupid question?
America
Do they ask this to Microsoft Bill Gates 😂😂😂
Mr. Chew, how long have you known Wi Fi personally as a friend?
Hahaha 😂😂😂
Would've been a good question if the Senator knew what he was asking.
Still a dumb question a home wifi lets devices communicate with eachother its totally normal u still gotta request and accept connections tho.
Actually I don’t find it dumb because if you have an app that can see and gather information of all the devices connected in your local network, potentially that company could get access to the devices in your network, if they have malicious intentions.
@@luigitavarezklk07You're not fully understanding the tech, so your logic doesn't work. Do many apps have the ability to talk to multiple devices on the same wifi? When permission is granted by the user, yes. When permission isn't granted by the user, no.
The bigger problem is just apps logging wifi signal strengths around you to see where you are at any given time compared to other users of the app. This data can be used to create a relational profile between you and people around you. These companies know more about the people that you surround yourself with than you do :D
@@JaYEBuLL "when permission is granted by the user, yes" Well if permission isn't granted, then you don't get to use the app. Most apps are like this, you give consent at installation. The notion of it being beyond the industry norms doesn't mean it isn't doing things it's not supposed to. The industry norm could be stealing consumers data. So just because every other company does it, doesn't mean it's right.
The question is actually valid, the congressman just didn't phrase it correctly because he doesn't fully understand what he is asking.
M. Chew: No, wrong product. That would be Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
Spot on😂
😂😂😂lol broo its Mama Siri hahahah
rolf
Shhh we only question the integrity of Chinese companies, surely a yank company would never do anything bad...
That would have been the appropiate response, indeed
“Mr. Chew, are French fries really French?”
I love when Congressmen are trying to understand technology. And they are trying to make laws. They should be way more worried about Amazon and Google.
No they are not cos they are American companies, if forced they can have control over their data. They only wanna stomp on Tiktok cos it's chinese.
Mr. Chew, if I turn on the night mode can I control the day-night cycle?
Underrated comment 😂😂
This is the kind of ppl run our country.
😂😂😂
😅😅
Republicans 😂
@@zoro8117 ohh is it not sleepy joe in power now?
Hahahah
Mr Chew, if I put myself as a screensaver, will I be saving screens?
It is sad to see the US representatives level of knowledge and logic
congresman know, US r spying people all around the workd
What's sad is that you haven't recognized these televised events are political theater. Congress comes to their decisions independent of these hearings and the only real purpose they serve is to give the politicians some screen time and the opportunity to grandstand. Asking irrelevant or stupid questions is a common tactic for both saying nothing and feigning ignorance. So he does not come off as a radical, this congressman is using his screen time by throwing softballs.
@@MasterOfTheUniversePSD that sounds right. Altho they are boomin hard they know that too 😂
Sounds stupid just like any other politicians
Erm… network security professionals would certainly beg to differ. Software that maliciously probe the network they are on do exist.
Congressman asked "If i fart, can china collect my fart, decode my DNA from my fart, and DNA to access my WIFI? So my question is can China use my fart to take control of my WIFI network?"
That’s a good one
Lol basically what he said
Or the world
😂😂😂😂
😂
Do what China did with Tiktok, they banned it since day one. Simple as it is. What’s the point to argue? It’s their company it’s their app they know it the best
Tell me you know nothing about apps without actually telling me
Mr Chew, does TikTok use my phone’s battery?
did you know that tiktok gets electrical power straight from china? so it does not use your phone's battery at all!
@@real_dddfstop the cap we are not idiot we use our phone batteries. TikTok have a server they are the provider of the data we are responsible for the battery/power please stop saying bullshit like you know anything.
@@crazyarchon476 really hope you are trolling
@@zenthous9568 wow "really hope your trolling" you are one of those people just bluffing about something they don't even know. Do you even know how electricity work? You were using your native language but you can't use them well
@@zenthous9568 "so it does not use your phone's battery at all" that's when the statement became bluff and idiotic
You can tell this man is trying SOOO hard to give good answers that do not disrespect the intellect of the politicians, despite the sheer stupidity of the questions asked
Yup. This is what its like being in tech with non tech people. It reminds me of the video. "The expert" and "7 red lines". I would like a line in the shape of a kitten.
It's not a stupid question bro. They do it on purpose. That's their trick everytime. They want to make him like a criminal
I salute him for his grace and patience 😂
Actually the questions are carefully selected, they know the Chinese man will not answer them, sorry Singaporean
Sheer stupidity is to give access to companies who by law must do what ccp says. Hand over data for to the nazies of 2000's...
"Mr Chew, if I insert headset on my phone, does it set my head on my neck?"
Ideally, you vote your brightest people into positions of political power. Somewhere, the US drove that idea into the ditch.
His initial bewildered look was gold.
More looked like fear.
@@NormanFoxLee Looked rather like a quintessential "???? wat" expression to me
@@NormanFoxLeeyou know the country is screwed when even a foreigner is scared for its future 💀💀💀
@@NormanFoxLee bro you can clearly see that confused eyebrows
That’s the power of USA 🇺🇸 senator 💪💪💪
Most of people elected to Congress just don't have basic understand anything about technologies. Some the questions are just laughable.
I thought US congressman was smart, however, it was the opposite
white racists
Actually it was a valid question just phrased badly, but his answer showed how ignorant the CEO is as well of tech. I think he is asking if tiktok can create a backdoor to your PRIVATE network via your home WIFI network, something like a VPN software for example.
It crazy some of the questions they ask......
Well, you're the stupid one here because its a valid question.
Mr Chew, if I leak my password to TikTok will TikTok know my password now?
If dumb was a person
😂
Average republican politician behavior.
Man was activating all his brain neurons just to understand that question.
LOL!
Exactly 😂😂😂
Hahaha
Synapses malfunction on the stupidity of this question.
made me giggle this comment
Who else thinks this is the best way to start the day? ☀️

Guys its a bot
The biggest problem is that they don’t know what they don’t know but believe they know

Duning-Kruger victims
Mr. Chew, if you oil up, will you please keep your doors unlocked?
I actually appreciate how calm and patient these two were with the misunderstandings
"Mr. Chew, because your name is Mr. Chew, does that mean it is easier to consume food?"
Mr. Chew if I plug my ear phones in, can TikTok have access to my brain? 😂
only if you have a brain - which it appears you do not.
Technically yes 😅😅
if you use tic toc your brain is worthless anyways, so it dosnt matter
Mr Chew, if I'm not chewing my food because I so lazy to chew it, but instead I move my jaw up and down, is it still considered I'm chewing my food?
If I use TikTok, and my heart goes tick tock, does it mean that I am a desk!?
"Does TikTok access my battery to steal my electricity? Could it also access other phone's batteries and steal their electricity too?"
It could access your bedroom to sleep your wife
😂😂😂
YES? Yes.
yup! its a plot to steal electricity!!😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
If this congressman can become congressman, you also can become congressman. Everybody can! Believe in yourself!
I dont have the ability to act as dumb as this congressman for a prolonged period 😅 I'm afraid I would be exposed.
All it takes is several friends with millions of dollars, anyone can do it!
no, you also have to be good at making the deep state happy
@@warlordnipple Santos became a congressman.
And if Fetterman can be Senator and Biden President then I like my odds
He did not understand the question as he is not technical enough, essentially the question was whether TikTok hacks into one’s home WiFi network
These are our elected officials?
It is apparent that this Congressman is intellectually challenged but feels he needs to make some noise in the room
Those noise sure make him an internet sensation around the world.
Mark it down, his name is Richard Hudson.
Sounds like the typical American cop.
You, Shou, and the majority of the comment section here missed a fairly basic interrogation tactic. The first question is not a dumb question, it’s actually the opposite. It’s a fairly beginner technique called leading the witness. lawyers do this all of the time. He already knows the answer to the question, he’s just laying the foundation for follow up questions. It’s like a lawyer asking a defendant “so it’s true that you were there at the crime scene last night?” It lays a foundation so the follow up questions he asks will force the tiktok ceo or the defendant to provide very specific or related answers
@@forthehomies7043 Well, if you don't know about internet connectivity then it is dumb question. Just which of the mobile application does not require internet connectivity. It highlights the inadequacy of them in understanding this century's technology. I think you sadly try to cover up the inadequacy and outright stupidity of this congress panel, their stupidity can't be interpret as simply described as a basic interrogation tactic.
Mr Chew if I put TikTok on my smart fridge will it eat my sandwich?
The answer is yes sanator I have tried that and my wife totally denied the possibility of her eating that so it's totally the fridge
this one made me laugh 😭
Mr Chew, does your cars radio interact with other engines on the road?
"Mr. Chew, are you aware that murders have been committed while Tiktok was being used?"
I just laugh my heart out ..... wow... this is their congressman standard?? Seriously...????
have u heard about Biden? And you are surprised by their Congress?
A lot of these politicians are very low standard…
They are simply a bunch of facist and racist........
@@Raksasaification Biden actually smart president, he has so many experience.
yes, that's the standard for republican reps.
