The interpretations were more infuriating than just "lol they don't know technology". They were taking every opportunity to twist what was being said or ask for impossible things.
As much as I hate TikTok for being at the forefront of the attention span crisis, man, this hearing was just the usual arrogant politician act. They didn't want answers, they just wanted that man grilled. And just like Pyro said, It's very safe to bet there's a lot of money involved in getting TikTok out of the market.

It has to do with their censorship that such content would get on TikTok. If they wan't to operate in countries were talking about the tiannamen square isn't punishable by law, then make it available as so.
@PRoS_ 0 i mean. Our current congress is the most ethnically diverse in history. And has levelled with the percentage of the population that is a minority.
Anything that threatens a US tech company. Everyone knows Facebook steals a fuck ton of info and data and it's still allowed to run, but tiktok is foreign and doesn't make money in the US. So they want to ban it
Always scary to see Politicians openly show themselves as the paid actors they are. None of these people wanted a hearing and a discussion, they wanted to win, they had to win, and so they acted like that on every question.
I don't understand why people always complain about tiktok, wishing it to disappear like it's sucking the life force out of you and destroying your life...dude it's just a video sharing app
Imagine getting to your app accused of accessing/gathering private data, by the government (FBI, CIA) lmao. They're just mad that they didn't get a cut in that information being gathered.
American politicians are so thick in the head when it comes to understanding anything that uses the internet that they have me agreeing with the man who owns tiktok. What a world.
Bro I hate that if they don’t hear exactly what they want they just cut him off, there’s literally no information being given they’re just begging that they can ban TikTok instead of actually seeing if they need to be concerned.
They're doing this because tiktok is a rival to us tech companies. Facebook steals so so much data but is still allowed to operate, but because tiktok is scary and Chinese and almost as popular as Instagram, it needs to be banned
TikTok literally spied on journalists and it gave its information to china despite them signing a deal saying they wouldn’t send American information to the ccp
True, I do feel bad for him personally, but I think it was a good revealing question. If he is too scared to answer out of fear of what the Chinese government will do to him, then who's to say that they don't already use that same fear to force him to let the them spy on their enemies with his app. Even if he himself has no ill intention and just wants to make the company successful, he may well have no choice. Even if there wasn't any direct evidence for espionage, TikTok should be to big of a security risk to have in the US for this alone. Edit: to Trevor below me- yes, it absolutely can, I never said otherwise. Other nations would be perfectly justified in banning western social media apps suspected of espionage, just as the US is justified in banning TikTok. In this case I was talking about TikTok specifically, as that is the current topic.
@@trevor245 issue is, they mostly share this data with advertisers for money. Tiktok most likely share this information with the chinease government since chinease law states the government has the right to look into all of their personal data they collect.

There is indeed an argument to be made for a form of black mailing as mentioned in your comment, but considering the concessions tiktok has made, which no other social media has as far as I am aware, I think that they have proven to an acceptable degree that that is simply not what is happening. Also there is something to be said for the anti socialist movement in the US. Sure the way China is being governed is terrible in so many ways, but that is not caused by it being a communist party. I would argue that that is also a form of propaganda. And we all know that North America is the king of propaganda.

Does seem like Pyro is the one with conflicting interests. Kinda like how Elon simps for Russia.
he fell off
Every once in awhile I remember that I have a device with infinite information and a camera that's so high quality I can zoom up to a water tower from the parking lot. We can do literally anything.
I’m so glad all of these questions were not accusatory or off topic, such a beautiful congress
We're so early, Pyro hasn't even changed the description from the Angry Bird video
Bro, you are shaking like crazy when you picked up that water
"This is the equivalent of" is Pyro's family guy cutaway
“I have to make a concession” 0:21 Lol
Niel is slowly going to metamorphosis to turn into Felix
Hope you enjoyed the tin of Surströmming!
Did they not discontinue that food? Just a question
@@martykiely127 No, we have a "surströmming season" every year, for some reason. I don't know anyone who actually eats it, I'm 100% convinced we're only keeping it around as either a meme or an emergency chemical weapon.
@@asgrahim9164 I think some people like it
@@belloconnell I know. Those are probably the ones lacking a sense of smell.
This reminds me of the anti-work subreddit where the news chose the worst person to interview about the subject.
How can a government be so incredibly unprofessional
- So, is TikTok spying on us?
Tiktok: we will do our best to use user data efficiently to mass control large groups of people 🥰
I think you’re dumb enough to be a congress member. You should apply!
Ha ha wouldn’t it be funny if the American government took our information!
CZcams would never sell my date points 😂
Facebook, Google, Fitbit, Apple wouldn’t sell my date their about privacy!
Good thing that doesn’t happen anywhere else in the world, only in china would things like that happen!
P.s China’s internet has its own version of tik tok, so in reality America is just mad at its own reflection.
@@internalizedhappyness9774 Google, Apple, and FB are just as bad, but its about who you trust more or less... Do you trust China more with your data or America? I dont trust either, which is why I dont give them my data at all. Even now, I run YT on a virtual machine and use security measures to protect my privacy and online safety.
Nobody's saying that china is the only place that details user information. Your reply was unnecessary.
@@internalizedhappyness9774
>Having your personal information be handed over to a foreign power is totally not a big deal because some domestic companies do the same thing.
Holy deflection Batman.
This is such a shame, how will we know why good girls like bad guys?
Bro 😭 this a throwback
I’ve had this question for a real long time….. ;_____;
The congress was like a bunch of children just trying to get a yes on every question and getting angry when they dont.
Not even 5 seconds in and he's already done a bladee reference
I will finally believe pyro for once
I love how the question at 2:30 was so stupid that the guy started questioning his ability to speak english
The question is if TikTok can access other devices on the network. A valid question.
@@spehhhsssmarineer8961 he asked, twice in a row, "If I'm on my phone at home and I'm using my home network, does tiktok access that network" after he answered that a second time, he asked the valid question. Which, when you think about it, isn't very valid when you consider how phone apps connect to the internet.
Only the American government can make me sympathise with a CEO lmao
Nice to hear you're in my country, Pyro!
(I'm coming for you)
ive managed to not download this app for since when it launched, stay strong brothers!
Glad to see we're moving forward as a human race
"can i respond, chair" "we are gonna move on"
I keep thinking that little yellow u in a circle on pyro's shirts is somthing on my screen.
Can't wait for the south park episode on all of this
They are amazing at not letting TikTok’s CEO defend themselves
What is there to defend?
@@ignacio8597 Nothing, considering they weren't asking the right questions 😅
Ik but it's funny
i hate the supreme court sometimes man like "is tiktok gonna spy on us citizens" like bitch you gonna drop your phone in a well? your own phone is spying on you without tiktok
pyro I love that you're always in the ssense sorted lowest to highest price clothes, I saw that offwhite undercover shirt at winners last week
I have lived my entire life for this moment.
the whole 5 years of it?
One of the moments of all time.
@@teru-teru8790 he didn't know what he was living for his whole life but he finally found the answer 5 years ago
@@theonlyhikaru Exactly.
I would 100% give up my body specifically for this experiment as well 😂😂😂😂
"You are done, fired. Do not show your face on the app store again"
Hope you get out of Sweden soon Pyro 💜
This is so sad... pyro is currently being fermented and canned, thoughts and prayers appreciated
I can't belive pyro is finnaly talking about how he got banned in america i hope he gets better soon
3:57 Why is there a phantom Pyro in the upper left corner here? Lol
Look at how good this guy is speaking so vaguely in what isn't even his mother tongue. Meanwhile Americans can't understand you when you have a slight accent
Cry of Fear reference! (It doesn’t exist and I’m a severe schizophrenic)
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality, which can be distressing for them and for their family and friends.
"Does Tic Tock use wifi?"
"...yes..."
When they get asked a question they will be vague to the point of not talking about the question when they are ask someone a question and they answer it slightly vaguely but you still know what they think, they get mad and say "Thats not the question i asked" when the person answers it with something that answers the question.
Dont be harsh on yourself pyro, im sure your tiktok account state is less worse than others.
