[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he get any prep before coming to  testifie?  My god, I feel bad for him, I live Tiktok, but he isn't helping at all.  [/quote]

Did you see how Congress was hostile and rude to him? Did you see how many times he was interrupted all while trying to keep calm and sane despite the rude AF questions, not to mention the glaringly stupid ones? I mean, these are people who know nothing about the internet, yet they'll be making decisions on how Americans should use it. I'm shocked; and I'm even more shocked that they can quickly come together in a bipartisan manner to focus on TikTok but somehow can't agree on gun reform Like these people care about kids, my ass.

Am I supposed to fee bad for a Chinese company operating in the US in market segment where US companies are banned in China? [/quote]

[b]I don't care about TikTok, the company.[/b] Care about the 150M Americans who use it, some who get a ton of good from it, including making a living from it. It's the only app where people can actually get raw, unfiltered content that hasn't been massaged by the media. This is about freedom of expression and speech, and interestingly, the US government doesn't want us to have that. I don't see the outrage for Facebook/Instagram who have tons of data on us. Where's their outrage whenever a school shooting happens? I wish they could come together just as quickly to actually do something about that. [/quote]

You should.  A Chinese owned company controlled by the CCP.  And, you think it is "unfiltered?"[/quote]

This!  There are 2 parts to Tik Tok issue:  one is the privacy issue that affects all social media companies and the other issue is that the parent company of Tiktok is based in China and therefore the CCP can access US population data.  The 2nd part is a real concern.  The fact that both sides of the house were united on this issue should communicate how serious this is.[/quote]

Regarding part 2, so what? What do you think they will do with the information?[/quote]
