- Tiktok is the world's fastest-growing social media app.
But the U.S. and some Western governments say it allows China access to private data and is a security threat.
The company and the Chinese government both deny this.
So who should we believe?

The US freedom of speech is about never letting the other side to finish his sentence
That isn't how it works, bub.
@@thunkjunk read between the lines you imbecile
@@thunkjunk the US dosnt even believe in free speech
If china government can access data from tiktok, its for sure that US government can access data from facebook, twitter, google etc
Imagine Chinese government accused US from accessing to Wechat, Weibo etc
That's why US government asks Tiktok to sell the company to US companies.
Imagine if China would ban Facebook like the US wants to ban TikTok. Lol
@@mikecamacho1934 But is already did lol
@@mikecamacho1934 why need to imagine, they already did lol, they also ban google, you tube, quora, etc. its mind bogling why US hasnt banned tik tok already.
We can see and sense the jealousy of Americans over China's thriving from those questions
🤣China is sooo Shooting themselves in the foot... Northern passage is now a USA/Canada thing $$$$$ . We 🇨🇦 almost signed a free trade deal with China during Trump Era... but the understanding & *respect for our values ( sticking our agreements & laws) Wasn't there at all. For not sending one USA prisoner to US court/prison by keeping her in Canada in her mansion on a huge territory.... China took TWO prisoners . They Lost a future BIGTIME $$$ ..🤷♀️!! Google *NORTHERN PASSAGEWAY MAP* perhapps there will be more respect of our differences (Canadian law & reliability principle ) in the future 🙌 & we can have a great collaboration with China.
Basically don't shoot the one who * means well * or to help , for nothing because of ( misunderstanding) . You are shooting yourself in the foot instead and need walking forward. That one might question doing meaningful collaborations for the future 🤷♀️ & seek a more easy to deal with partner. 🇨🇦 simple & logic .
And it will bring you a war like the world has never seen ☢️
I’m usually not on the side of China but My impression of this American congress is quite an eye opener to me. They are VERY Rude and Condescending. Not allowing the CEO to at least answer some of the questions posed is BIG No No to me as far as Democracy and Civil Liberties are concern. Perhaps this is how Americans truely are??
that's how bullying looks like
It has been this way with others of variety issues on the individuals being targeted.
I saw in Chinese Comuunist meeting & how they kickout X Presedent .
USA is intelligent and rude which is not visible while China is rude but transparent.
I am not supporting China but employment of many USA youths also involved therein.
They were rude because they already knew all the answers and they knew CEO would not tell the truth!! Which he didn’t 😮
One of the guests (from Europe) has obvious bias that "US is good and China is bad" , which makes the discussion less useful. Using Apple iPhone for example, all iPhone users of China which put their personal data over Apple cloud take risk that US government may access these data through some kind of backdoor from Apple. A solution to it is quite simple : all data from China iPhone users are stored in a local cloud owned by a parnter of Apple locally. It is why Apple can sell its phone in China (but Huawei cannot sell its phone in US). As for Facebook , if FB agrees to follow a list of rules /regulations in China, FB can operate in China. FB decides not follow these China rules.
It's turn of the century just like the Roman mistake after mistake I could be wrong
the biggest USA did the greedy politician bribed by student loan lenders, (universities increase the tuition made it hard to American enroll plus loan sharks
scared the kids,
used the opportunity get international student who pay double the price of locals
agree, but some kind of barrier needed for companies also, why they collecting such extra data which irrelevant with app priority, like location and other access, consumer using these apps not for get surveillance.
even facebook get banned in many countries for proved creating riots.
So what is China rules for FB? China gov has right to look at FB data?
@@xgguo3531 WHY NOT?So unlike TikTok CEO, FB CEO got no chance to have CCP congress hearing?
Tik Tok is no different from other social media apps such as FB, Instagram,etc. The privacy issues are the same. The concern that its algorithms may be biased/friendly to China may be real. However, the reverse is true for FB and other social media apps as well.
Btw, the politicians in hearing were bipartisanly embarrassing. So is your Irish based guest. His knowledge of china’s corporate environment is laughable and biased
Unfortunately, deep inside, it is all about business, I am pretty sure with the right price, China can buy all those data from Google, FB and Instagram
@@xiaoliangtang9592 you are right. The US and China are two of the countries with the best spying capabilities. What you can get from TikTok the CCP government can get by purchasing the data from various companies. It is not so stupid to use TikTok.
I do agree “China friendly algorithms” is more of a real risk. But look at FB, You tube etc are predominantly pro western and no one say anything? Such hypocrisy
As well as the expert from New York
Why don't CCP allow other countries apps in China.
@@xiaoliangtang9592 You are a CCP Operative!
The hostility shown to the TikTok ceo was astounding and bordering on uncivilized.
That’s why i said they are bipartisanly embarrassing!
The lawmakers embarrassed themselves. They were very disrespectful
Lol this is nothing compare to when they come after Facebook. Twitter is getting sue by the FCC right now. All other social media app CEO is already got their hearing with Congress, now it tictok turn. If this is done by the ccp there will be no hearing the CEO will just disappear for a few weeks, and regulation will be enforced, then a few week later the CEO will start selling his share to a ccp members. Just look at Alibaba group and Weibo. Let get real all around the world all the goverment is cracking down on all multi nation social media networks company .
Yeah, I thought so too. It was ridiculous and the theatrics were unnecessary, and I am American. I still think it should be banned.
You think that's something wait till you see how bad things get for challenging the US Global order.
The US is a country with no remorse. No remorse for the tragedies it caused in vietnam, iraq, libya, etc. It distracts itself with the next war. They're so bloodthirsty
💵💵💵
God bless the US 🇺🇸
I long to see the day the white house is engulfed in flames once again
Most Countries still live in the past. They don't want anything changed. That's their right. Those who do? Will find it difficult moving forward.
This is xenophobic anti US misinformation. Ho Chi Minh, Sadaam Hussein and Muammar Ghadaffi caused these tragedies. US provided aid to these countries for resistance.
Jealousy and Hypocrisy Combined at Highest Level. Anglo-Saxon Prejudices And Superiority
Your forgetting that the US is a melting pot and mixtures of people from all corners of the world. 🤦🏻
100% agreed
Wait till you see what that brings you ☢️
Anglo saxon is Gog and magog 😕
I am not why the Irish gentleman was invited to participate in the discussion. He said that he had been to China a couple of times, so that made him an expert? I honestly believe Tik Tok has more to do with the US animosity towards China's rise than anything else. So tell it like it is, why beat around the bush? Where is freedom and democracy nowadays?
Does he need to be in China to be an expert on things that we can just look up online about china? Makes no sense... So I have to spend years in China to talk about it's laws? 🤦🏻🙄
@@alexlopez5800 I don't live in the US. So, should I go around to tell everybody that the US is filled with homeless people, drugs and crimes, and all Americans are racists based on what I hear on the news media?
@@alexlopez5800 If he reads up and knows the law in China he doesn't need to be in China. The problem is that the Irish guy makes assertions that China puts tech bosses under house arrest just because their tech company gets too big.
There is no law in China that says that the authorities in China can arbitrarily put anyone under house arrest. Chinese citizens and any natural person or business entity within the China's jurisdiction are protected by Chinese laws and have to abide by Chinese law.
Einar asked about the Irish guy's time in China because the Irish guy is spouting nonsense about arbitrary house arrest. This clearly shows that the Irish guy does not know about the laws in China. If the Irish guy does not know about the law in China and haven't spend enough time in China, what right does he have to make assertions that is clearly untrue if not only for the purpose of fear mongering.
@@alexlopez5800 yes he does, he get all his info from CNN or BBC which you know are all propaganda 😂😂
Facebook, Instagram, CZcams, Google all these can access personal data. In that way, not only Tiktok but also All these social media are collecting personal data
The fact that some of this legislators have their own shares in Meta.
So then China can ban Facebook, twitter and google... oh wait, China has banned those American apps... YEARS AGO!!!
It's really true. It is the way US can affect the election result in democracy countries.
They angry because tiktok data can't delivery to spies digital hq in Israel 😤😤😤
Actually ITS US who collect deta n blame others ...they know what they do that's y they think all are same
The ccp does the same !!!
@@rafaelf.bocanegra5412 ...it's power politics n greed of world politics
I agree, I think it is same reason that Huawei phones got banned cause US doesn't want to make a data collection deal with Chinese companies like they did with Apple and Samsung as China will definitely give it out and tell the world if US asked those companies
TikTok is a threat to US as NO government agencies could interfere or influence them !
Including US's own agencies !
That's why.
@@rafaelf.bocanegra5412 让我们回忆斯诺登吧
"Tick tok prays on our youth's innocence..." Seriously? When you guys teach little kids transgenderism and stock pornographic novels in SCHOOL LIBRARIES! I think the innocence of your youth is already tainted.
Public lynching and fear mongering
Sir you nailed it straight to the point
Who controls your children?? Tik Tok?? If you blame Tik Tok you might as well blame yourself for losing control over your children's access to the internet. What about Twitter, Facebook, CZcams etc?? Why pick on Tik Tok?? Is it because it is Chinese owned??
Divide and rule, fake leftists and amoral conservatives are really the same thing, don't care about a few toilets or a few rifles, as long as the populace keeps arguing, they keep making big money.
If ByteDance is not independent because Beijing can block the sale, then no US company is independent either. The US Department of Commerce has the power to overrule foreign acquisitions too.
I laughed at US congress so hard after Mr Chew's testimony.
You need to get out more.
Good. We're laughing kicking Tik tok back to Beijing...
@@alexlopez5800 ain't no yanks got the balls to ban TikTok, not you, not sleepy almost dead soon joe
@@alexlopez5800 how are you gonna advice your gardening business then Lopez? 😂
They hope tiktok made in Israel
The fact is that the US government has been using such methods to monitor and control users for so many years that they don't want others to do the same, and they think all the others are sure to do so.
So then China can ban Facebook, twitter and google... oh wait, China has banned those American apps... YEARS AGO!!!
Ah Yes! Typical Western Selfish Fashion. "I can Steal but not you"
When the US speaks they are speaking to fools.
Not people like me who knows that Google play services major apps like fb Whatsapp Instagram and maps are basic US spy tools.
And if you own a iPhone don't think you are not being spied on by the US government.
They accused Huawei and Tik tok as Chinese weapon and National security treat. What do you see Facebook and iphone as?
Do the maths.
Americans are easily SHOCKED except for things that they themselves do.
Well, Americans are SHOCKED😲 because they think everyone else's is sooooo stupid and unable to match them, let alone overshadow 😤 them as China 🇨🇳 has been..🤣😂..
Trump is calling for a civil war yet Tik Tok is threat.
@@cornishpasty6926 Both are going down due to both being associated
The obsession about power and control has no monopoly on either side, it’s just the method
I never used Tik-Tok myself and so far I don't see a need to do it BUT the flimsy excuses given in order to justify its US "nationalization" or closure by USA oligarchs are ridiculous BUT NOT innocent.
This is a modus operandi, it follows a pattern or AXIOM: "any successful enterprise must belong or must be feasible to be PURCHASED by western oligarchs", Its corollary is that "all savings must be deposited there as well supporting the US dollar", and China and others are OUTSIDE that realm...
You're over 30 of age, right 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
You hit the nail on the head!!!
What a double standard ....there 100s of social media platforms that's ok because it's amircan.....they don't want other to win
Lol the USA already grilled the other social media networks last year. Remember how they drag mark zerbark to Congress, and Twitter is in an constant war with the FCC.
That is correct and within our right, Imagine not wanting other folks to spy on your but also wanting to spy on everyone doesn't seem to bad. Your all free to not use facebook or instagram or idk youtube at anytime Mr. Khan.
It's all about being number one.
America can't say it's a country based on war, injustice, censorship, hypocrisy & lies, since that would turn people against them - so they have to shamelessly lie, by claiming the exact opposite
As far as I'm concerned, if someone's a serial killer, they should at least have the decency to admit to their crimes
America wants to commit all these crimes, then try to fool people into believing it is the good guy, while all others are the problem
The entire world should ally against this evil nation
Why China government want to collect data of Tik-tok user in USA? I wonder why Tik-tok is actually banned in China too?
Ban also iPhones and Starbucks in China, it is also national security.
bar gm, a military contractor, and put gm out of business.
Ban Everything hahaha isolate all of people lol
Microsoft OS is severe threat to any country outside US，and fb，Google，US tell us every country should ban US software
Good, china doesn't deserve it.
ALL other countries should ban american companies, american media, american websites etc
SEA already did for decades. There are not many made in USA products in SEA, and only use local or mostly made in China.
If you care about your children, BAN the guns!
These US morons cant stop massacres in schools but they want to ban TikTok.
Yup, & it starts with Tik tok
This is brutal. That’s why you don’t debate without solid evidence and the necessary knowledge to use them. Especially in the face of someone who does like the lawyer here.
They do have evidence. Even the CEO can't prove things on his OWN app.
You have to ask yourself one question. Why did USA clamp down on Japanese car imports in the 70s and 80s and ended up in the Plaza accords.
An absolute double standard hearing with a very rude attitude.
Good. If he's not hiding anything, then why not comply and give clear answer?
150 million active users in US. Most popular app downloaded. That's why
CZcams with close to 24 6 millions US active users is number one.
Coming new trend in US: Using VPN to watch and play TikTok 😂😂😂😂
Lol
Access is one thing. All the small businesses forbidden to use TikTok in the case of a ban.. That would be devastating for them
You are so right, VPN business will be booming
@@xiaoliangtang9592 nxt crackdown on china own vpn
Yes, Americans need to pay for VPN to use Tikkot that the point.
The Americans are just jealous all their social media apps can't compete with tiktok.
Remember this jealousy is going to get the world destroyed ☢️
@@beastmode8203 america is like a headless, rabies-infected dog
Say it Loud so people in the back can hear...
and CIA couldn't control the people though MSM anymore
worldwide should reconsider US social media for national security, evidence is clear from Julian Paul Assange and Edward Snowden’s testimony.
You are CCP Operative!
If any Chinese do the same things like them in China, they have no chance to run away and maybe will disappear!
@@KaLi-hb7lr brain washed by west media, all the case can find out in province court website, don't break law, that is simple.
These bullies need to be taught a lesson. The way they treat others is absolutely despicable.
If he's not hiding anything then why not comply with them and give solid answers? They have proof and yet he lies to their faces... I guess Chinese was on the menu on that day?
@@alexlopez5800 What questions would you want him to answer? He answered that tiktok has and would expand their us servers (which, personally, I disagree with - tiktok is used worldwide, so it shouldn't only be the us that benefits financially from the multimillion dollar data center and jobs it would create)
@@user-yx5vu3jl2b What other questions? 🤦🏻 The ones CONGRESS ask him to answer & he disrespected by wasting their time because the guy didn't even give them one solid answer...
Ccp bully banned facebook, google, twitter, and a lot more. Xi even bullied and embarrassed his elder, hu jintao, in front of whole world lol.
@Alex Lopez did you even watch the hearing? They asked him leading disrespectful questions and never gave him a chance to properly explain, talking over him.
US is not only fearful of China business competition on TikTok but also its popularity
It's not fear its anger and it's going to cost the world everything ☢️
China bans nearly all US apps. Why can’t the US ban a single app?
Is that the reason why China has banned hundreds of American apps/sites for decades now? It was fearful?
They’re not fearful, they’re in full panic mode, just waking up to the potential consequences of allowing a foreign power influence over the minds of two thirds of its population.
@@beastmode8203 yes you guys will, but bring it 😂
The US just wants to own tiktok
The guest Adrian is shaking his head like an ID10T, when he has no response to Ainar's reasoning.
You can be arrogant but not stupid. China-phobia is ok, but paranoia is laughable.
Einar speaks incredibly well - it's very impressive
Yeah, and the Irish dude stares at him, shaking his head, but failing to come up with a counter argument.
Exactly, don't expect much from the typical Irish Anglo Saxon bias... Don't expect much intellectual discussion or debate the Irish guy..
Every comment by Einar was combative and sometimes deliberately insulting to other panel members, even though nobody insulted him.
@@JoanneLeon You are very fragile, if that's what you think
@@JoanneLeon this is expected as his salary is indirectly funded by CCP
LOL... "That's not journalism, that's fear mongering".... Yay Einar! Slap that TRUTH on him!
Ya, Ainar slapped him down alright. Idiotic excuse for journalist spewing nonsense inventing things from thin air.
Saying the government in China is not interested in your personal data is like saying the U.S. government is not interested in Oil.
There is no cure for prejudice and racist undertone especially when the ‘other’ is doing better in a competitive environment .
Some congressmen were downright insulting and hostile.
A simple examination of mass shootings of young people across different countries will demonstrate which societies are more violent. Singapore is a US ally.
1/3 of American use TikTok, what if young Americans start a Til Tok political party? 😂
There are more than 300 American companies and universities operating on the Chinese Mainland. Every single one of them answers to the American government and caters to American interests. Not one of them dare refuse American government's demand for information regarding any aspect of China to which, by way of their business dealings, they may be and most likely are privy.
Doesn’t every app collect data?..
CIA is the biggest collector of data worldwide. By FAR. U.S. and the West disgusts me.
Yes, but not directly funneled through Chinese government. US data in the hands of Chinese, what could go wrong?
What a fiery discussion. Great TV! The lawyer and the Irish independent guy gave us a good show. Moderator is excellent too!
The Dublin guy got absolutely smashed its almost hillarious
You are a CCP Operative!
He is a moron that is clueless about China and yet talked as if he knows China
Just like the CEO I guess. Beijing guy lost his cool... Some professionalism 😂
@@alexlopez5800 ikr, "losing one's cool" is so unprofessional. Like using F22 to shoot down a weather balloon, or using congressmen to form a lynch mob. Losing one's cool on a national level is so unprofessional. 🤣
@@maxchen9185 So, I guess it's a problem protecting ones country... Right... Don't be scared once china has to do the same.. oh wait 😂
The fundamental problem with TikTok is that it offers a MASSIVE AND ALTERNATIVE PLATFORM for people to express themselves. Two keys words in term of propaganda operation: MASSIVE and ALTERNATIVE. If you analyze the "opposition" voice in Western societies, they are usually fringe voices or groups at the margin. The MAIN propaganda operators are owned by MASSIVE CORPORATIONS and have MASSIVE presence in every aspect of life. So the "opposition" voices are there to re-enforce the image of "FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION" but it is irrelevant if the voices are ignored or not having enough penetration to the public mind.
So when TikTok shows up as a MASSIVE entity that can offer people with different voices a platform that can penetrate deep into the public mind, it creates a serious problem for the Western governments. There is a BEAST that is NOT within their control!
TikTok, no matter how separated from Chinese parent company, is fully aware that its origin. And it will, at sub-conscious level, be friendly to China. And as such, might create an ALTERNATIVE view about the world that is UNBIASED. This is very unlike its other MASSIVE propaganda competitors that were created with a very BIASED view about China. So an UNBIASED MASSIVE entity like TikTok toward China, turns out to be very dangerous to the BIASED entities that have a monopoly over the public mind. The public might wake up! Scary! LOL 😁
All itc collected data from users and market products to make money. FB was notoriously doing that from day 1 and caught many times
The United States is the birthplace of the world's largest distribution of pornographic videos, which has a great influence on children and adults. Why don't they ignore it? Tiktok is just singing and dancing. If you are a parent, do you want to show him pornographic videos or do you want to listen to him, sing and dance? It’s your choice
This biased interview was painful to watch. I'm glad he brought up the hypocrisy of the USSA but she didn't want that mentioned. I would say that information every time I'm interviewed. Anyone from China and non-biased in the WEST should repeat USSA hypocrisy
If Tik tok is a threat to the world 🌎 what about Google 😂😂😂😂😂
Google is a US-based app. How can it be a threat to the world lol
...which has your home address and PICTURES of your house so go with it!
That Irish guy forget that it is not tiktok who want to sell its company freely. It is the US government who force them to sell. This is bullying on a high level. Study a little bit about the history of Toshiba and Alstom, you will see US is not only doing this to its enemies but also to its allies.
但是大部分美国人不了解这些实事，他们只相信他们政府给他们看到的虚假信息
First Huawei now tiktok. I dont get it regarding tiktok. Its out their whats there to steal? I Mean u boss goes through ur Facebook. Its not stealing. Its out there for everyone. I dont get the excuse they use. Its just inbreeded distored logic.
Democracy is from elites to elites. You vote what they allow you vote. They authorized all the candidates they like. Political parties and donors dicided everything
Tiktok didn't ignite 1." ARAB" SPRING
2. TRUMP ELECTION
3. BREXIT MISINFORMATION
Or... Maybe it did
i just love the way the American gov throws accusations around. Accusations without evidence.
I can play the same game too.
Why did America "gift" the world the use of their military satellites for GPS? What they are essentially doing is capturing data of everyone user in the world.
This showed how dumb and self centered American legislator is, they even not allowed him to answer the question, YES and NO only accepted answer, Is he a suspect for a crime or something? What kind of hearing who only accept YES and NO question? Not to mentioned the question about "Wifi".
Behave like BIG bully!!
kangaroo court, not policy
Quite happy to see this congressional session : to know that the country's political elites are not only arrogant, agressive and stupid. The end of the US hegemony is coming to an end, and fast, with an obvious reason.
If most things weren’t already made in China I would be able to take this story seriously.
"If young people are disgruntled because both parties are in alignment, then they have nowhere to turn" - well what happens when you alienate 150 million people out of the population. That doesn't have consequences? People will become even more anti-government/politician, which only makes things like violent protests 6 months down the line when some other issue triggers it more likely
"The straw that broke the camel's back, afterall"
Why would the raw data even need to be given to ByteDance? TikTok and whoever in TikTok that can access the data could easily do the things the CCP wants.
even if you are for tiktok ban, you have to admit this is a very good lawyer.
I think he really means is that if the US government needs to make a law to not allow certain age group to access social media, like Singapore does. Without this law it is not fare to ask only one company to do so.
Yes or no answer to a multi-layered question, how pathetic.
If he's not hiding anything, then why not comply? Deflecting questions.
Man we have way more problems going on this country TikTok is not causing food recalls and gas prices inflation ECT this is like one of the distractions from what's going on here in the US
heated yet informative argument and discussion
Ms Kreps mentioned the age limit in Singapore and wonders, fairly so, if that points to a privacy issue.
Living in Asia, I can tell you that regulators here, to the extent they enforce such age limits, is primarily because they do not want kids to spend too much time on social media or even their iPhones. In the case of Singapore, specifically, it IS because of that AND also because the government there has always been a nanny to their citizens and hence also wants to control the kinds of contents their young are exposed to. But take China for example: Tencent several years ago was compelled by their regulator to limit the amount of time Chinese kids could access their platform and that was because the games were too addictive. So, to answer Ms Krep, no, privacy issue is not always the primary reason that apps/platforms are restricted in China or Asia.
Wow - what a disappointing panel! I switched to AlJazeera to get a most unbiased view on this case. And yet, here we are, Einar, who was giving a level headed counter perspective was cut off the whole time!
Thanks Einar for keeping the other panelists honest!
Gotta love the robust & educated crossfires between Einar and Adrian!! Bring them back on more often!
Instead of asking Tiktok CEO that the app collect data? Why not just ask directly on whether Tiktok shares all users' data to Bytedance and do Bytedance shares the data with CCP?
Bytedance does share data that has been asked already.
@@Mageroeth Bytedance does not share US server to anyone and supervised by Oracle.
@@kongwee1978 It hasnt been done to this day, it was waiting for project texas.
A conflation of different intentions. And a remarkable congressional ignorance of information technologies.
What social media did not get summon to Congress for a hearing?😂
if tiktok is banned u still have facebook and instagram. instead of china government the usa government will monitor u.
lol targeting children! Lots of companies are guilty of that! MacDonald comes to mind! All those innocent children getting fat and possibly dying from being overweight! lollll
Decision already made. Total waste of time.
Tiktok becomes another balloon. Unfortunately, 150 mil Americans are hanging on the balloon. Thus, it cannot be shot down simply using the missile. 😂😂😂
But eventually that balloon has to pop or land & it seems like it's Poppin/plummeting back down to earth
Why is it that I know exactly what Einer is going to say before he says it?
Show a better illustration of the term 'hypocrisy' than this accusation
They have proof...
America need Tek Tek ...😂... This is when you can not win, you ban the competitors.... Hahaha.. security?
senator: sir what is your name? yes or no.
how to answer complex question with one word?
Let me tell you the real story of Jack meh....he charge companies 5000 USD minimum to put there product on there platfrom.....100s of thousands did registered is billion takin from ppl for nothing ....it was a corporate con game
That's why CCP cut him down and put him out to pasture. A conman always full of himself. CCP did right
It is ok to be uncomfortable, when an equally competitive guy is hanging around you😂
China, though, has itself long blocked a large list of foreign social media platforms and messaging apps, including CZcams, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
The Number of US Tech banned in China is countless, so it makes sense if the US bans this 1 Chinese app for absolutely no reason but I can give them multiple reasons including revenge
You can tell the ignorance and arrogance of US journalist.
Who doesn't use our data 😂?That's sham what congress did
Can I find clips on Tik Tok of Xi looking like Winnie the Pooh? 😂
How about face book or youtub they do same ...don't youth do same on Facebook
The guy from Ireland got roasted throughout the discussion, dinner smells ready by end of the program 😂
All social media use our data,every news,or search will take your data,this is how it works. BUT there is a difference from using the data for advertising and ocasionnally spying by the goverment to ACTUALLY be always under surveilance and having your credit score depending on party affinity than actually pay on time the loans.
And again, no one has produced proper evidence that TikTok users are under 'constant surveillance'. This is presumption on guilt... In advance.
The level of fear is astounding. TikTok is s as dangerous as FB, You tube and Instagram,etc. Where is this constant surveillance nonsense?
Btw the Chinese government is very busy in establishing leadership in new technologies and national building. It doesn’t really have time to put surveillance on 150mil US teenagers!
US government build road and someone fell and die on the road, are you responsible for the death, yes or no. this is the kind of question US politician can ask?! very high IQ
Yes it capture way more than you actually think. But shorts are another way as well. It tracks your location and uses you camera and bank history. You would be shocked to know the depth of it. You would not even allow a phone in your home
I hate the way Americans unfairly judge others
The gentleman from Dublin was very rude. He kept shaking head while the guy from Beijing was giving his comment. He could disagree with the Beijing guy but he should not shake his head.
I suggest US bans TikTok completely and the rest of the world should also ban CZcams, Facebook, instagram, gmail, etc.
I'd be totally in favour of that!
agree,and stop use internet🤣
That's why it's always good to have access to a VPN
Do you know why Americans are afraid of Tiktok? Because Tiktok is not controlled by the US government, I believe former German Chancellor Merkel would rather choose Tiktok than the US app
If you accuse better have your evidence on the table and take action.
They already do have evidence... 🤦🏻
American just worried that it does not own these companies and at the end of the day they put up all these laws. So what are the difference between China and US? Both of them oppressing.
The journalist 100% Western side
Lol will somebody think about the children!! The children!!! This charade should be in the Simpson's
It is a losing argument bringing up Meta as the persecuted victim.
That guy from Dublin is so biased.
