Please answer yes or no to this very nuanced question that doesn't have a binary response. Oh and remember that if you answer wrong it's a federal crime. This whole thing is absolutely moronic

[Mrasianpopmusic]

She is trying to force him to say things she want which is basically stupid and this kind of authoritarian behaviour is not so called democracy

[nyandapatrick]

This lawmakers are just clowns with alot of hate in there heads full of colonial mentality

[Pradarapada]

If you’re worried about TikTok Facebook has been collecting data for years

This was a show trial. They asked so many loaded questions, didn't give him any chance to respond, and demanded YES or NO answers.

[alfredthys]

With those stupid questions they wanted Chew go to off the deep end. Great job Mr Shou Zi Chew for keeping it cool, it wasn't easy for him to answer stupid questions.

[VoltsNBolts]

Who can guarantee anything 100%?
That's just stupid.

The woman is too rude. It is very uncomfortable to listen the questions.

[waldozhou]

The lady is not only a lawmakers, but also is a spokesman of Facebook.

STUPID QUESTIONS from congress, and GREAT ANSWERS from CEO !!!

[queenofpain]

Ban everything and only read toilet papers

[Shabkaz]

Why are they only asking him gotcha questions ? Instead of a fair trial they are just using their biases against him

[Ken-ypdg]

This from of questioning is unfair and shoudnt be allowed.

[simon]

I suggest that woman should do some homework before she propose these questions that sound quite stupid.

Any American TikToker can be a better congressman and lawmaker.

[LaMereACaniche]

The only thing this hearing confirmed is that the average congressman is incredibly tech illiterate. What an embarrassing display.

Whether it's Facebook, instagram, anything Google, apple, tiktok, snap etc.... They all got yer data....

[shopkedai]

This Chew deserve our respects for sitting before these hawks who were eager to send him to jail using Federal Crime. Now we are seeing the racist attitude toward non American own company.

[redharuka]

Who can be 100% sure, when you are a platform that is actively used by hundreds millions of users around the world, uploading tons of content every minute.

Why does it feel like when the congressmen speak I feel like a slaveowner is talking to me
