This senator at least did not ask irrelevant questions which did not flow logically from prior answers.
Unlike Tim Cotton's questions these are actually fair questions to ask. Keep in mind that they ask some seemingly "dumb" questions so the questions and answers get on the official record while they're under oath. Tim Cotton's questions however were just ignorant and useless.
Yes, Cotton’s questions revealed his ignorance & bias.
His questions were valid . Congress does want to get his answers on record . Chew is very clever in evading questions and can answer some questions in a way to try to embarrass Congress . A tactic of the CCP . Chew is Singaporean , which was irrelevant to answer since anyone that seemingly has ties to China could be asked that. But he knew the headlines would read "racist" .... not so bright .
Lies again? Trade Secrets Higher Chinese
You don't need to be Chinese to have ties with the CCP, his questions were funny and everything, but still valid.
That’s joker didn’t do his bloody homework and asking stupid question 🙋
To be honest, these questions are okay. I heard way worse.
Well at least he doesn't come across rude and bullying & for the 1st time I cud actually hear Chew's answer in full.
like what?
that's why freedom in USA is a joke in china
@@rizmemesDo you use wifi?
This senator is at least decent enough to ask a genuine question and was patient enough to wait for a complete answer
Yup, like Mr Chew, he had manners.

American Government knows their tech giants are outposts for U.S. intel agencies and think the whole world does the same... 🤣
It’s a a smart idea it’d be stupid to think no one else had the same idea
Correct, the whole world does the same. It just that the US hates the CCP at the moment.
Isn’t that what China does by banning UA-cam, Google, Facebook, etc? 🤣 Do you see American or any students going to university in China to steal their research? All of this only goes one-way - the Chinese way.
The only difference is these US intelligence agencies are being funded by US taxpayers while the chinese ones are not.
because they do you rat
Don’t waste bloody time with these pathetic us lawmakers. Bunch of hypocrites.
What~~~ it's entertaining.
I don't think they have choice.

There are 3 Americans on tiktok board. Why didn't Senator ask, " Are they ccp members?😂😂😂
Who cares? That's all just a front. They're still beholden to China at the end of the day. Make no mistake.
Who says Americans can't be deeply connected to the ccp lol?
@@jewii3824разве американцы это не инопланетяне трансгендеры?
It's funny how you Americans think your elected president could be Putin's puppet but believe Americans sitting in a CCP-owned company's board can't possibly be CCP's puppets. Yes, I said CCP-owned and not Chinese owned because everything and anything owned by Chinese are properties of CCP. It's written in PRC's constitution.
Just imagine if all countries in world grill Facebook, Google and Whatsapp CEO about sharing Personal and security information to US Military and Government.🙏🇮🇳
Good point (WhatsApp is Meta)
100% they will share the info to the US government if they ask for it
Google: Whataboutism
They don't have to, every one of those apps is completely banned in China lol

US senators never fail to amuse me with their stupidity and ignorance about the world outside of american politics.
Without these truly wise senators, how do you think the most powerful nation on Earth and the most attractive to immigrants was ever founded? You need to read more.
That's correct. Never trust US government in their foreign policy.
Never provided? Does he think they would ask his permission first lolol
@@brave-i9l It’s precisely because they are too foolish to manage the country properly that countless illegal immigrants can swagger across your country’s borders. To you, singing praises here, I wish you and your country good luck!
You know a lot of immigrants are from conflict countries that US interference.@@brave-i9l
American moral hazard is just the beginning.
Data collected by Google or Facebook are shared by and to the US govt so why are US senators so worried of data shared with the Chinese govt? Data sharing is mutuly beneficial unless one has other plan in mind which the US had done over and over again.
hence FB is banned in China if I recall. The US government used to spy on everyone with Facebook and that was documented by Edward Snowden.
You mean western hypocrisy!

What about holding the parents accountable, they provided the electronic devices to the children to access the web. Did the parents tell the children not to access inappropriate sites and if so, did they take away the devices from the undisciplined child? Don't blame the greater society for parental and children shortcomings. Set and enforce rules for your household before laying fault at others doorsteps.
Totally agree.
Whiny, irresponsible parents.
That is not entirely true. Feed can go haywire very quickly in an unsolicited direction. Its not easy for parents to control kids all the time and kids dont grow like plants in a terranium either. Its everyone's responsibility to do their part - kids, parents, teachers, community and keep these companies on their toes to respond adequately to harmful content
This is about the integrity of the corporation. Parents are a separate issue.
"Blame parents" can be said for anything as an excuse to avoid corporate malpractice. It's avoidance.
The question asked if millions of tiktok data points were sent to CCP intelligence and if they still have it. Nothing to do with "parents".
The answer was deletion has NOT been verified by a third party after all these years.
Yea because life is that simple and every household have parents constantly monitoring their kids wht if those kids accessed via public devices or borrowed in school perimeters ? hu ? you think only home + devices provided by parents have net access ?! jezus
Almost had me till you said "greater society"
So if I contact your kid online and convince them to give me your cc or ss number is it your fault for raising a naive child? Or did I take advantage of a situation for ill intended purposes?
He's lying under oath
Does he care if he is lying or telling (partial) truth under "American" oath?
"Truth" for CPP is different than "truth" in the democratic world.
Mr Chew is calm and articulate!
Also quite handsome.

Theres another video of a Senator questioning this man, who is Singaporean, about the Chinese Communist Party... How tf have these guys been brought into power
All big companies give your info to respective government,even facebook does that
facebook and instagram and all google products are banned in china
@@Stutterstun so why can't they ban it simple
@@Zarameley Not sure why my original reply was deleted.. but in the US, we have the illusion of a free market, so in order to keep up with that illusion we need to at least give a grandstand show before banning something in the name of national security defense. All jokes aside, US should ban TikTok from just national defense purview, TikTok has shown multiple times that they have and will break US laws to obey their China laws.
Clearly you missed the point. Singapore is NOT the same country as China. That's like saying US companies give information to Canada. Educate yourself before posting ignorance
@philp1398 i am more educated ,just cry,if you think tiktok is giving information to cpp,then just close tiktok instead of asking shity quation to this guy
So, you're saying that US government doesn't have access to google, facebook etc. user data?
The US government has requested and received data from these companies. In other cases the US government has not requested, but has taken the data anyways. Just look at Edward Snowden
It's a known fact that the US government are absolute fiends for data. They just don't want to feed the enemy. (China)
Very articulate response by Mr Seow
China take the data themselves , I did not give them
Mr Chew
Chew on deez nuts
That's the 1st time I have heard a reasonable question in this senate hearing
Is all about the language they use "We have never been asked" Because they do not need to ask, they take it, "We never provided it", There was no need, the data goes directly to them. who know what happened with the Data really
Mr Chew shows what grace under fire means! US senators just show their ignorance from the way they ask questions!😂
It is you who are ignorant, sir. The Chinese Communist Party has a firm control over all business organizations in China. If you work for a Chinese company, will you not obey the Communist Party's orders? You need an education so badly.
China take the data themselves , I did not give them
@@brave-i9loh just cry about it. They are going to spy on what I am watching! So what about Facebook and the others? Mind open wide.
@@brave-i9l Such a biased comment. It is common sense that you have to obey the country's laws no matter what business you have in which country.
Obeying the country's laws doesn't make you become their citizens nor you will get a passport for it.
@@brave-i9lyou not smart enough
Do you provide data to Zionists & Liberals for Islamophobia?
In 2014 Tim Cook of Apple refused to cave in to FBI demands for the data from the deceased terrorists IPhones. They were the radicalized duo in the San Bernardino shootings in California. Unfortunately if it involves terrorists and if this was Singapore or China or any other country which is beholden to a top-down governance the rationalization would be well they are terrorists, there could be sleeper cells etc, what's the matter anyway? They're dead anyway, and Apple would have came in and provided. Tim Cook did not. He withheld the data and the FBI was left without the data, they couldn't hack into the phones of the terrorists.

He will never tell the truth. Period
Unlike everyone else in the White House …🙄
The truth isn't what you want to hear.
You're probably one of who believes in your own government....😅
you just made that up
Ifyou are snake, you see other snake feeds..
At least hes asked a legitimate question, unlike a certain Mr Cotton.....
When enemies fight against enemies, there's always one of them who lose and died in vain. This debate is one example.
Poor people who use tiktok and trust this guy. There are secrets behind tiktok that you don’t know
I refuse to believe that these senators can be this genius 😅
Why was X/Twitter and Yaccarino given special kit glove treatment as this hearimg ? X is one if the worst offenders yet they softballed any questions they ask her? Does EIon own that many in Congress that they bow to him ?
He is not stupid he is just trying to probe chinese connections.. because up until march 2023 tiktok was sharing data with other chinese companies ... and still has access to it
Dumb senators are so entertaining 😂
Typical court trial style. They are lawyers and are used to ask very basic questions for the record.
Dumb? that normal for them to have those Question, you never face a real Communist before so...
I lived in the United States for 40 years. I know what he’s going through right now.
He has to answer truthfully for the record
Good and very relevant question, unlike Cotton's racist questions.
Senator should ask: 1. does TikTok have any CCP members? 2. How many CCP members are there? 3. Does TikTok have CCP committees?4. How do the CCP committees influence TikTok's operations and decisions?
Exactly, and these American senator didn't understand how CCP influence/ involve in private-owned entreprises as you did. So they ask the dump and useless questions, thus arouse the mocking from Singapore.
These questions he asked weren't useless, they revealed to the record that deletions have never been verified 3rd party.
I agree with OP that deeper questions should be asked, ideally written by top information services investigators.
@@chingjungtsai and then. How about your opinion Joe rogan statement in tiktok?
Im stand with Joe rogan, because tiktok collected data too much detail.
This must be the only somewhat reasonable question from the whole hearing.
By now I can understand why this country is sinking.
Thanks GOD!
No one on earth can either confirm or deny that statement. Dont say that.

I wonder where china learnt it from…..
Just ban tic tok like how China ban UA-cam etc
They really should. Why an American firm can't replicate this I will never understand and they created vine.
Meanwhile, US collect all data from FB, YT, Twitter. 😂😂😂
This hearing is about child protection. This dude is recycling old laundry. Move on…..
UA-cam shorts are like tiktok why
No matter how well the CEO defend with facts and figures to deflect accusations,those people who asked questions are only there for political grandstanding.
TikTok - ' how do i defend TikTok for something that the company has never done ? '
Senator - ' Sell your company to America , and dismiss the entire TikTok management !!! '
Tiktok the worst app I have ever seen. Almost 40% there are people with no talent, just one dance move in 10seconds with 4 million. The world is really messing up because of this app.
The only good question in this entire fiasco 😂
Chinese intelligence service, tiktok branch: ay yo comrade today just in, 700 dance clips, 500 pranks and 900 other videos, i think we need to pull overtime today😂
A lot of people think that the Chinese Communist Party is directly or indirectly influencing the Singaporean government. That's why he asked those questions.
so you are telling me the same senators that approve selling F35 to Singapore believe Singapore is under the influence of China? ok, I guess the F35 are now in China's hand too then. some people have no understanding of reality, Singapore is the only country US can trust in ASEAN, it where the CIA put their data center in under the 5 Eye arrangement. if SIngapore cannot be trusted. US has far bigger problem to worry about because it means all of 5 Eyes intel and communication is exposed!!!
Americans who are Brushing aside the Senators would cry after 10 years by saying OMG the Chinese Govt took my entire Data,It is now blackmailing me to do stuff😂😂😂😂
At least this Senator is ok compared to Sen. Tom Cotton who just ask trash and irrelevant questions... The ignorance of Cotton is really crazy that alone he is unfitting in his position i would say really...
American technology companies such as Meta, Amazon, Google, etc. are also monitoring, storing and accessing a large number of users' personal information, but why have they not been equally accused and questioned? Even though telecommunications fraud is very common😅
Senator : did u leak sensitive data to Ccp? Mr chew: i won't tell old guy even if i did!
After losing a lot of money in the financial markets last year, I really need to make wiser decisions this year especially with the economic downturn on the rise.
I completely understand your concerns. Navigating the financial markets can be very challenging
What I would suggest you do is seek the proper guidance of a professional advisor that can manage your portfolios the right way
You're right Burke. I have been working with a seasoned professional advisor for the past one year now, and it's been an amazing experience both financially and psychologically
His full name is Kurt Bastian Vogel
Kurt and his management team have completely transformed my financial life and mentality towards wealth creation and investment
That is a good example of asking the right question for inquiring the key answer (followed by investigation of the truth, in this case)
I often don't do that, busy sinking into accusive emotion and expressing stress rather than solving the problem.
Tik-Tok company policy doesn't allow sending user data to Chinese regime, but it doesn't necessary means they are always secured since their Chinese owner and parent company always has access to the data storage site without this CEO approval. .
If the Chinese government asked the CEO of UA-cam, the CEO of Facebook, the CEO of Apple the same question...
Chew should response " Don't touch me"
OK so US lawmakers can ask REAL questions. Thank God.
If these smart alecs had proof, they wouldn't be asking that question. The Ring-a-ling Circus has a new act. And boy, the Clowns are entertaining.
👍
😂😂😂
ah.. i know a singaporean when i see one. apparently we are china right now
Interesting exchange, of course, statements would need evidence. But I wonder what Mr Show Chew would respond if sitting in China before a Chinese governative inquirer panel making the same questions...
Shame !
You know he's lying.
This is what happens when Americans
study enough just to pass the exam or parents
paying top dollar to get their kid into college their
not eligible for lol.
China take the data themselves , I did not give them
I bought a hoodie on TikTok for $3 (shipping included). I sometimes wonder why it's so cheap.
Just ban it you spineless people.
I don't know but TikTok make me headache after I scrolled it
The politicians and "media" already determined you did.
most of people in the comments do not know how to ask a right question and believe this CEO is totally innocent. Americans are surprisingly naive, they do believe this CEO who works for a chinese major owned company ByteDance will not submit himself to China😂
The Chinese probably can get access to any hardware and any data they want.
"We've never provided data to the Chinese government" is lawyer lingo for, "I'm not saying Tiktok data has not been shared by one or more of our partners or owner to the Chinese government" 😂
He is lying
Worried about Tik Tok? Maybe worry about guns, about drugs, about health care, homelessness and war mongering......
How stupid can these senators in USA BEHAVE!

BROTHER.... THEY ARE TRYING TO FRAME YOU.... GET IT?
If you think this was bad, you need to look up Chew's questioning by Tom Cotton.
These questions are fair call and productive for the American users and government.
These politicians don't even know where singapore is? This is how dumb these folks are nowadays!
They've never been asked by the CCP for user data and have never provided them, but that doesn't mean they won't if called upon.
It is The Blame Game Show
Which means they did.
TikTok was not made for entertainment.
This is just the pretext .
you sure are thick😅
I think you mean Apple apps
His answer in short: "I'm not telling who has accessed the data, and its STILL not been verified as deleted or how many times its been copied and distributed to CCP."
"we have never been asked for data by the chinese government and have never provided it"
There is a reason he is asking these repetitive questions. it's also a mind play. By asking the same question differently, you can gather more information and assurance. It's Interrogation 101. Tom Cotton is not being racist here, he may come off very blunt but he's just doing his job. I admit his questions could've been better. Regardless, he has to ask these simple questions to clear the list under oath. This also includes asking the same questions from previous hearings. Which is why so many of them said, I already answered this. They know they did, they want to know how they will answer again if it will be exact same or with slightly newer info. And these questions aren't just made up with absolutely no basis. There definitely is enough evidence for them to ask these in the first place. It is Chew's vagueness and not giving a clear answer that makes the congressmen suspicious. As much as I love TikTok, I don't think any American wants their private data being shared with a foreign country. Also there are Chinese citizens working in the TikTok US headquarters that accessed users data with no purpose or official paper trail which makes the company look shady. There should have been formal documentation and protocol in order esp because they are a foreign company, whose country that have close ties with Russia and are the two biggest threats to America. And the reason they are so weary with big foreign companies esp from China is because they have such a huge hold on American citizens data because that data can be used to create political weapons and national security breaches. There have been previous instances of Chinese products collecting data secretly without permission. A big reason why Huawei was banned.
This senator seems alright
TikTok ceo: we are perfect angels
Ok here's the thing. Bytedance is indeed a chinese company, and if China requests data from them they are legally obligated to do so. But Tiktok isn't based in China, and they don't have to share their data to bytedance. So as long as Tiktok's data stay in tiktok we should be safe.
For the sake of the world every country should ban everthing America
