How are you going to ask him a question then reject his answer 😂

[holyflame]

She doesn’t know what she’s even asking.

“I find that preposterous… because I’m too old to go to internet and only believe in my guts and not in evidence” 😂

These American politicians who were supposed to defend their so-called good values such as liberty and human rights behave so arrogantly and their questions show their ignorance. I’m really upset that people like these are representing this country. Meanwhile the “villain” Mr. Chew was calm, polite and well educated.

The biggest surprise in this video is seeing Snap having 750 million users. That stuff is garbage

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.

Why asked a question and refused to hear the answer.. let the guy talk.. also why are all these committee are consisted of like dinosaurs 🦕

[viviantan]

How is he gonna answer if he’s constantly interrupted tho…?

[KM-kygj]

US representatives questioning Chew were so ill-informed and had no idea what they were talking about. Do any of them even HAVE a social media account they can successfully navigate better than their grandchildren 😂

[joeygrant]

They accuse Tik tok of stealing user data, but not Apple??!

[Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

You could see that these bunch of clowns are already prejudiced from their line of questions. Whatever happened to Innocent until proven Guilty?!

Let the Man being questioned ANSWER them!

[mike_datpseudo]

US government is ridiculous 🤣

don't ask questions if you don't want to hear the answers....

- a french guy

[melissawomack]

What they did to Mr chew was so ridiculous. We got your back Mr. Chew!

[Bobby-dltg]

No guns are banned in US but banning the social app

[bryanboi]

So to this lady, facts doesn't matter, only her opinion does. Even though the CEO said there isn't any evidence, neither could she provide any evidence about the sharing of data with Chinese Gov, she continues to be on this war path questioning him about the data lol. 😂😂😂

[itsbuzzup]

the indluence of tiktok is getting out of hand so they want to terminate it .. tiktok is killing instagram, facebook, twitter

[A_]

So they a grilling tik tok for things they do with google facebook and twitter.

[kevinchen]

why ask all these questions when you already have your answers

[gamer]

😂😂this woman just talk without evidence, I think this is American rights they always no need provide any evidence, the only evidence is her mouth 😂😂

[rasalghul]

The questioning from the member of COngress is so clumsy and convoluted, he could have responded in any way and it would not matter. I really wish members of Congress would do the prep work needed to inform themselves of the critical issues and concepts if they want to be part of the committee that investigates TikTok
