TikTok CEO Shou Chew was grilled by lawmakers who expressed deep skepticism about his company’s attempts to protect US user data and ease concerns about its ties to China. Here are the biggest takeaways from Thursday’s hearing.

In his first appearance before Congress on Thursday, TikTok CEO Shou Chew was grilled by lawmakers who expressed deep skepticism about his company’s attempts to protect US user data and ease concerns about its ties to China. It was a rare chance for the public to hear from the Chew, who offers very few interviews. Yet his company’s app is among the most popular in America, with more than 150 million active users. Here are the biggest takeaways from Thursday’s hearing.

Bob Latta, a Republican from Ohio, accused TikTok of promoting a video on the so-called “blackout challenge” or choking challenge to the feed of a 10-year-old girl from Pennsylvania, who later died after trying to mimic the challenge in the video. Republican Rep. Gus Bilirakis of Florida also said there is a lack of adequate content moderation, which leaves room for kids to be exposed to content that promotes self harm. “Your technology is literally leading to death,” Bilirakis said to Chew.

It was a poor attempt by him to distance TicTock from china who pays him, where the software is written and 'in the future' the data will be protected from china. However TicTock can't be sold without china approval. Sure,it's an American company.

I am no fan of tictok, either; a social media full of subtle subtlety, in my opinion.

It’s all about economic war between US and China nothing more trying to tire down the other

I watched it to see the old fogeys ask ridiculous questions like 'Does Tik Tok use internet?' and shout 'that's preposterous' to everything he said whether he finished his sentence or not. So glad to see that's the leadership in USA.

Don't chicken out, there are many other options. Say NO to china they are supporting Russia

CEO has not only exposed the ignorant and biased politicians but also the whole US political system...

What are we doing for Israeli based Viber?

I can feel that Zhou's rly outstanding. Sadly, the task given 2 him is: NE tiger's in tiger fam, while S China tiger isn't; 2 straight lines neither intersect nor r parallel; rectangle's part of quadrilaterals, while square isn't. TikTok

Elon Musk called in a favor to his buddies to try to get rid of Tik Toc since everyone rather use that. Now he's upside down on his investment and trying to pull all the stops

Hold on,I support tiktok。

We really should be checking peoples banking accounts to see if they’re receiving any money from META!

They chewed Chew.

不讲证据,更不讲道理,只讲所谓的政治。美国真丢人

Funny that the US lawmakers do not base on facts. Just “China Bad” is a rubber chop to stereotype.

I'm no fan of TikTok but there is no possible way they could be any worse than Facebook, Twitter or Google.

THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: As a group, lawmakers are wildly ignorant about the subjects they're trying to grill people on.

they wouldnt even let him explain, kept cutting him off when he was about to make a point and literally just acted like a bunch of fools. literally, this what you worry about? yall have more pressing issues beyond an app with not only small businesses but content creators.

Tsk tsk CNN needs to worry more about not being able to select text which is NOT protecting user jackshit

Saudi TV mocks Biden & Harris in viral skit again.
