  1. can tiktok hack my microwave

  2. Please don't pronounce it "Why-Fie." Pronounce it correctly, "Wee-Fee." LOL

  3. It's almost as if the Congress grilled themselves

  4. Bro the TikTok ceo was GRILLING the us lawmakers

  5. The gaslighting, interrupting, twisting his answers, just blatant racism, etc is very disappointing

  6. National security cannot be compromised, hope Americans wake up to this “digital drug”.

  7. This stuff is absolutely ridiculous. I don't care about an app nor should the whole country be worried about an app, there's more real issues in the world to worry about than an app. Let kids be kids and it's your responsibility as an adult to read an app 'terms and conditions' not a CEO of the app or their workers.

  8. they already make up their mind before he even sat down

  9. Congress is full of fuckin idiots. They didn’t let the man talk at all. Don’t say he was grilled when he was barely able to talk and they don’t even believe a thing he says. Mark zuckerberg prolly paid all them off to make them say this cause his business didn’t do good at all. The worlds a fucked place and forever will be.

  10. This 9 minutes just shows how stupid or Congress men and women are 🙄 it’s just so wild how they ask a question and don’t even let the man speak. I’m baffled

  11. Congress is embarrassing

  12. This people don't know what you talk about it

  13. You can't talk crap about Democrats or Republicans much on YouTube. But you can on tiktok. One of the main reasons why the government wants it banned.

  14. Make them get real jobs..lazy bas..tards..nz

  15. He's chinese for God sakes…get rid of him…ban it..nz

  16. So basically tik tok is the same as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat lmfao there all the same. U.S just knows China is doing what America is doing to their own ppl

  17. Tik tok is not that big of a deal lmao wake up ppl

  18. Its such a shame for American to let this official run American government 🙈🙈🙈no wonder America is in mess.. hello American are you guys ok? Respect for Singapore i must say!!

  19. User agreement specifically states they have the right to monitor your entire phone and any connected network or computer activity across ALL your apps. They know nobody reads the fine print.

    But the biggest threat is the division it cleaves into our country.
    Clips strengthen our biases by showing the most extreme outliers.

    Ask yourself how much more socially biased you’ve become. How much of your identity has become rooted in your political camps? Team leftist liberal or team right wing conservative? The middle has been pushed further to the outside.

    Divide and conquer. Oldest and still the best military tactic.

    Ask yourself who would benefit if our country became splintered and were too busy fighting amongst ourselves.

  20. Our Degenerate society is so damaged by the content of tik tok, the west is being fed absolute garbadge, and is having a youth that has the attention span to that of a goldfish, our society is in decline all while China rises to become the world's leading supperpower, and you guys see no problem with the CCP storing your data? I feel like the US government is trying to protect us, but many reject it because you guys are so addicted to tik tok to let it go. I say tik tok should be banned.

  21. Wtf now tiktok will decide who will be the US next president…absurd youth brainwashed by nonsense content on tiktok

  22. Americans just love being suppressed 😂😂, they speak 🗣️ of freedom yet they don’t have any, they all about bravery, yet they won’t revolt.

  23. This will start a revolution

  24. they made tiktok seem even better
