The CEO being asked "if TikTok can access wifi?". :deadbanana4:

 

 

:ahh:

The biggest tragedy of this hearing isn't any censorship or algorithms from the CCP, or American social media hypocrisy while lobbying for its downfall. It's the braindead congresspeople (forget even age at this point if this is any indication) that are the biggest Luddites on the planet.

Literally watched a congressman ask why does the app look at peoples public videos 😂

 

the ceo said “well they are public” 💀

the best app to ever exist as user experience

Huh? Its mindless endless scrolling format is the worst thing to ever happen to UI. Esp with other apps attempts to mimicked it and ruin everything that ever worked well so more people can endlessly scroll and see content that the algorithm wants you to feed you.

It’s a place where you don’t need a degree/education to give out advice without consequences.  
 

It’s a place where people get accused and “canceled” without much proof.

 

It’s garbage.

TikTok’s CEO: “Now I can give you a straight answer, NO”

It would only be fitting for the crazy 2020’s to have a new social media app disrupt and tear everything apart only to be banned later :deadbanana4:

I’m going to miss tik tok, the best app to ever exist as user experience

 

Good thing is I travel a lot, so I will have access when I go to Canada, Mexico or Europe

You think the app will stay up in Canada if the States shuts it down? 

 

If the app goes down in the States, pretty sure Canada will follow course. Our doctors and workers in the government field are no longer allowed to have the app. That's not a good sign.

This has always been the major crux of all Chinese tech companies and their subsidiaries that collect user data. They have no choice but to abide by the law.

They need to be asking and investigating the money Tiktok funnels in through "battles" and gifts. I have seen people receive $25,000 in a day through those battles and Tiktok takes a huge percentage of it. People blow through their money sending gifts for attention.

US are dumb as f***. There is a woman now questioning him about it being addicting for kids, and her daughter. They need to parent their own kids. It's laughable.

good parenting =/= being able to keep tabs on every second of attention your child spends.

 

have you ever been a kid??? kids will always find a way to use stuff their parents tell them not to

The only TikTok we’ll know in a couple years is Kesha’s

You can't blame everyone else for what your child does. Also if she is so concerned about her child not sleeping, turn off the wifi. :rip:
