The CEO of TikTok carried himself very well during the questioning. Most of the questions by the Congress members reflected their prejudices, biased views and shallow intellectual understanding.

Is it weird that the CEOs of a parent company and child company are in contact? Lol…

[bnuscottlee]

When you are not trusted, it's hard to prove otherwise.

I understand that congress wants a direct answer, but they need to stop cutting him off and let him talk. Shameful to treat him like that.

[LitLifeWithChar]

I don’t even rock with TikTok and I feel sorry for this man

It's news worthy "Tiktok CEO Says He's in Touch With Bytedance CEO" ! ! ! TikTok CEO should be in touch with FB and Google instead ! ! ! 🤣😂😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅

[ryanten]

I am wondering how much Meta and Google donate for this hiring. Their Reals and YouTube short are facing great challenging by TikTok

[desperadopharaoh]

Waiting for them to ask do you send ads to people for things they are thinking about privately in they're thoughts like FB does? And do they have data leaks monthly like tmobile

[pointnemo]

Yeah! CIA/FBI don't like competition!

Why ask a CEO about any of this? If US Intelligence is telling you that TikTok is a threat, and that the CCP is in charge, just do what you need to do. Are you Congress or are you the Better Business Bureaus?

It was just a monologue from the madame, if he had wanted to speak there was no choice. Damned ..tried...and served without a word for defense
This in itself felt very ccp in itself

[YokedDrunkard]

We all gonna ignore she said a man's name was Poo-Ping??

[Howie]

A meeting that you already know what it is, and when you really watch it all, it really feels boring

[wionporky]

The CEO of tiktok is also in communication with the US government.
So is he under the control of US government.!

[Buppasiri]

Why I get vibes from the inquisition about this...

[swisscheeseoo]

Didn't even let him talk and cut him off

[RileyTheMonster]

Yeah and you don't know miss Rogers and the rest of government? Are the only ones allowed to keep tabs on everyone to do the type of things She's asking you if you did or claiming claiming you did?
