They ask the question and then deny the answer.

[juanoooh]

Last dude wanted to get paid for watching TikTok lmao

[dagondrell]

Old people that don't understand social media should not be making decisions on it.

[jaynewallace]

"When am I gonna get some money from this?"

The most capitalist question ever.

[lighttheway]

Literally everything Facebook does lol

[SHOSH]

They didn’t grill the TikTok CEO, they were rude and didn’t know basic facts about the app also they wouldn’t let him speak and answer. How is this a fair hearing?

[RickyDeGove]

It's ludicrous that these "out of touch" folks might be considered too old for teaching, yet they're the ones calling the shots in America? What an absolute joke.

[williamf]

What are you getting from face book. Are they paying you

[francisf]

This is so annoying pls. If you can't give a man a fair hearing then no need to bring him on board. Shame on these Congress people.

[MichaelJohnson-ssqf]

Ummm haven’t we already determined that Mark Zuckerberg has been doing this and is still continually doing everything they trying to grill tik tok for? 🤔

[michaelk-pyang]

These "old" folks are embarrassing. They are really I am 75 years old !!

[davidfranklin]

The title should be "Representatives grandstand and ask dumb questions that show their lack of knowledge when it comes to the internet." Good grief we're a world embarrassment.

[annieyue]

They really do not know what they are asking! They asked questions and did not want to listen for answers! What a disgrace!

[LC-lmyj]

“I will need to check as we do not currently collect that data.”

“I’m sure that’s a yes.”

[eggnuts]

This is painful watch. I have too admit he had a lot of patience to deal with those old people that are clueless.

[jeffjohnson]

Wait American corporations are doing the same but we're just crying about tiktok? End all of the collections.

[bryangallagher]

I'd never want to go in front of these clowns who ask questions but can never be bothered to listen to an answer.

[timesaillusion]

wow these representatives are so out of touch

[SavagelyBadAtLosing]

None of these politicians know a single thing about what they're asking. Get the elderly past their prime out of government.

[bluepixie]

This must be a torture to Mr Chew, because he is dealing with grown delusional human beings asking nonsense questions. The amount of times he stopped himself from rolling his eyes is commendable.
