Much ado about nothing………
NBC News is a puppet
Making money is an action. Keeping money is behavior. Growing money is knowledge…..
Uhm healthcare infrastructure high cost of everything. Nope tik tok and draag queens.
America desperately wants what they have
Is Odin (3:16) the all-father at the hearing.
This TikTok uproar is sheer baloney. China isn't the threat. Russia isn't the threat. Washington is the threat that is ruining our lives and stealing our freedom.
As far as I am concerned they can ban TikTok and all the other social crap.
The US government wants the same access to the same data that the Chinese have enjoyed. The US government wants to do the same thing with the desired data and that is to use it against American citizens free of cost of course.
Congress: "if I turn on WiFi, does tiktok habe Access to the WiFi network?"
And these people make important choices for three USA?! I feel sorry for the US
How about Wall Street if every foreign-funded company had to be foreclosed on? Israel also seems pretty Chinese to me…
Is housing and economic data any less relevant than misinformation about the latest dance trends?
Someone needs to do something about Tik Tok. What's a firewall gonna do.
DO NOT TRUST THIS CHINEE STOOGE
These so called congressmen or women are a bunch of hypocrites
They say if you lie at congressional testimony, you will go to jail.
Does it apply to the lawmakers themselves?
Ban it.
banning a Chinese app for "national security reasons"?
that was exactly what China did to twitter.
Looks like the US government is no better that the "evil CCP" lol.
Well I think it’s a little late in the game to try and ban it now! It’s been around for 3 years!!
So we are not going to talk about all the security data breaches with Equifax Trans Union all these other companies that’s supposed to keep your information safe there’s a major data breaches all over the country that TikTok has nothing to do with! Law makers need to get their head out of their a** and tell the REAL reason why they want tik tok gone!
Despicable way of forcing a successful foreign company to be sold to an American company. Ahhh…. Democracy.!! PAH.!
Not to mention the Chinese app Tiktok, but Twitter is full of CCP spies. Zuckerberg sold a lot of data to the CCP to arrest the family members of anti-communist Twitter users in China
A bunch of GOV idiots!
The video is about tiktok going down, yet it asks me to download it based on the YouTube ads algorithm.
Perhaps let's focus on more important things like safe drinking water.. rising food costs… Student loan forgiveness…
Just want to point out the obvious … that is one handsome and young CEO! 😁
It’s not about user data, it’s about promoting nonsense that divides and confuses the youth to the top of the algorithm while in china they promote positive influences to the top
