It is much worse then how Matt put it. They do not have to have a actually reason to search you. The act says they can check your data whenever they want WITHOUT A WARRANT AND WITHOUT CAUSE to make sure you are not doing anything "illegal" or what they claim is an arrestable cause.
Tooootally exactly not what they're screaming about happening now... How strange 🤔 haha.. can't make this uneducated shit up. These guys are the exact things they fear. It's pure insanity.
I've never commented on this channel or Austin's main channel but I started watching his unboxing videos and I think you and Matt are both Hilarious but I really appreciate the open and honest discussion surrounding politicians and the restrictions being placed on Americans that can at first sound silly but can be quite serious as you dive deeper into the issue like most in our country but I just had to comment and say how much I appreciate the content! Keep the dialogue going 🙌🏾
The bill is so dangerous. Don’t be distracted by the TikTok ban, no matter your feelings towards the app. Get involved in the conversation and let your voice be heard.
Actually I'm all for the ban... Why? Because China is our enemy. They are not our friend at this moment... So when we give them access to our data and our videos they're getting to see what's around us so they can build data for their military to know where things are.. because so many people are stupid enough to make videos about military or to show they have guns and or take your data to take your money... But if that's none of that's true, it's still scary to give China our enemy any information of us?... Austin, you would give Matt your credit card yes u Would but would you give China your credit card? No you would not. So you see why they want to ban. But I believe they should do it in the right way. Find out if the company is really doing what most people think and if they are take care of it. If they're not then leave it alone... But I know smart people in this world that are smarter than a lot of us and they believe it should be banned
What's more dangerous is the world getting together to abandon the US dollar for their global trading in favor of a digital currency. Yet here you are, worried about saving an app where underage kids dance half naked. . .
As an American of 20 years now, I have more than concerns regarding the priorities of certain political focuses such as “banning everything under the Sun without real comprehension of what those bans implicate”. Why ban platforms of discussion that should be given rights to the people who would actually make those decisions but instead what these politicians are doing is focusing on stupid non-essential worries like Tik Tok and Idk feeding the homeless? after school programs? How about anything other than saying “F you” to your citizens and not trusting us? I think that the government should be replaced with younger and more up-to-date leaders rather than lobbyists stuck in the 17th century.
The primary concern I have is exactly what Matt was mentioning. While it is TikTok that this bill seems to be targeting today, who is to say who or what it will target in the future? This act is about far more than TikTok, it is about control over the populace.
They should probably have a separate congress for electronics, invasiveness and security …that are actually built up of people that know what they are talking about
They most likely have huge variety of actual internet security specialists at their use to ask what type of questions and things they should be asking about tiktoks use of data, security etc. but still choose to wing it and ask whatever conspiracy inspired insanity comes to their mind.
From the outside looking in, the fact that some of these “wild” questions were asked would mean that the government knows that it’s possible whether by included in its own software or experiments and are just trying to see if other companies outside of America are implementing it too
Terms of service for TikTok is the alarm, making fun of the senator from potentially being spied on by the CCP as it states in the terms of service they do not even attempt to hide the spying such as specifically being a device wide keylogger
Tik Tok is a highly addictive platform and draws children and adults into wasting time when they could be doing something more creative and productive. I get your point, bit Tik Tok has more cons that pros.
Your phone is always listening to you and throws advertising based on what you say.. Kinda like I was talking to my wife about palm trees and then all my ads became palm trees for sale or tree services
Well you can take your learnings from India. Something similar is happening here from quite some time. TikTok is already banned here, same goes for AliExpress. The privacy concerns were valid but then again, India probably has the highest number of internet shut-offs globally. (I mean, the government just flips a switch and mobile data doesn't work) Would be interesting to see how US Official proceed on this matter. Honestly, it might not be as bad as it seems!
@@QSxDaRkSCoPe, don’t try that here. One of the defenses the sponsor for the bill uses against backlash against it is that it’s “bipartisan”. This is idiocy from people from both parties.
This is such a fair take! Kudos guys! I’ve had a “few too many” to post something intelligent lol but I’m proud of you guys with this one. Political, but balanced
The entire video is Austin and matt "predicting" what already happened to the internet in Iran in the past decade. It's funny because here in iran the official media is acting like "US just did what we were doing for a long time; we were right all along"
The mistake you are making is thinking that govt works as you think it should. It is really a bunch of individuals mostly concerned with their own power and status, not people working on you behalf for your best interests.
I have a TikTok with 440,000 followers. My most popular video has 44m views and I don't understand TikTok. However, I have reported 100s of accounts with I'd say 80% being restricted. These range from sexually explicit content, minor safety and violence. I have been offered money and merchandise to push scams to my audience, the strange thing for me, they knew my largest audience was between 18 -24. I still don't know how they got that data. TikTok is fun but dangerous and while we can all disagree with this bill, we should be wary of trivialising the issue with social media and data collection. I agree with the idea that we need regulations, just maybe people in the industry should be consulted before imprisoning the population.
I encourage you all to READ THE BILL CAREFULLY. This is not going after individuals who want to use a VPN. VPNs aren't even mentioned in the bill. It's for businesses or entities who do millions of transactions/ year, with the countries listed in the bill. And the bill basically states that the government will be looking at these businesses and determining if they are doing anything illegal or sharing trade secrets with a foreign country or doing something outlined in the bill and then they can fine the company or business or put them in jail for up to 20 years. It's not going after individuals on VPNs ordering stuff from China. There’s too much mis information about this bill. I encourage you to read it section by section.
Then why do they use the term PERSON all over the penalities section? Person = foreigners AND US citizens. Also yes it doesn't mention VPNs by name but VPNs are a tool that can be used to "circumvent" the act. This bill is poorly written and gives the president WAY too much power. Let me remind you Trump labeled Canada a "national security threat" so he could tariff Canadian steel by executive order. What makes you think some future president won't use this act to ban any foreign technology he hates?
To be honest all the penalties for crimes are wacky, here if someone SWATs someone. You are looking at maybe 40 years in prison. But in the same time if you get in trouble for doing drugs they can save it for later stack on to other things. However, TikTok just needs to go.
It is so stupid especially because many isps include a vpn with there internet service by default, and request you use it when accessing public wifi, looking at you comcast, happy to have it but they need to be speaking up with there hundreds of billions of dollars that can fund lobbyist.
Now just remember that YOU are tech people that know a LOT about tech. This EXACT SAME argument has been going on with gun people for decades. People that know nothing about firearms are making the rules, and those that know next to nothing assume they are evil and agree with the banning. It is hilarious to see your saying the exact same argument firearm owners use. 'You don't understand the item (Social Media Tech/Firearms)' 'You convince others that don't personally use the item that it is evil' 'Government should not have carte blanche control and I do not trust their oversight' 'They will only take more rights away down the line with this slippery slope' 'Although it is based in good intentions, it harms the wrong people' 'People that know nothing are using the wrong terminology and sound really dumb' 'Contact your congressman'
This shit worries me. The censor ship of tik tok reminds me too much of china and all censorship of books are starting to remind me of a certain book burning regime. I should be able to choose what app I can use and a library should be able to choose the books it might want to have. No one is forcing you to use either or.
@@almightysamwhich4203 to be fair the government that promotes free speech has no business telling me that I can’t use an app. Every app sucks and gets used for nefarious means at times, but I and others should be able to use it as long as it’s not for illegal things.
@@Yodagamer1 you Americans and free speech. You have free speech people in China dont. People in North Korea don't. And tik tok it's genuinely ruining society
I agree with you that this is overreach of the government and TikTok should not be banned, but I find it odd that you played clips from a couple of congressmen that are for the ban but decided not to play a clip from say, Senator Rand Paul, who made basically the same argument you're making.
Bruh I'm 27 years old my wife of 5 years finally got me into TikTok. The amount of cute baby/child activities on their to do are amazing from all the teachers. And now it's getting banned? Well fudging freak man.
I’m an “old” man and subscriber. I wish I could agree and appreciate this video more than a simple thumbs up. I know it’s a delicate balance but keep building the social conscience while you entertain with technology information.
The problem is governments don't typically know how to do things in a nuanced away least of all here in the US. It would be fun and games if this didn't have such serious ramifications and honestly the consequences here could be unbelievably significant.
More importantly these people who 'govern' social media apps all own shares in the companies that they're supposed to be governing. The whole things a joke 😂
Okay, so I hear you, and I agree. But I think you might at least a little bit underestimate just how dangerous the CCP is. The better thing to do would probably be passing a bill that says companies can't collect certain data from their customers--but obviously that would upset the other big tech companies. And even though banning apps instead of illegalizing practices is a bad way to go, the Chinese Government is definitely forcing some hands.
So if there are 150 million users on tiktok in the US and if this bill somehow passes if least 70 million uses a vpn or still have access to tiktok or other sites that are "restricted" are they going to charge EVERYONE and send them all to jail and fine them?
Not everyone, just those who aren't rich enough to get really good lawyers, have connections to someone in the government, or chose the wrong VPN. Lotta people out there use free VPNs thinking they're being clever, but fail to understand it's only free because those VPNs keep logs and sell that data.
Not had chance to read all of the comments but this is Napster all over again. Ridiculous fines for normal people when the corporations make huge profits
That is not what the bill says. I can see your source also is just Wikipedia and not the bill itself. And Wikipedia is not a valid source for anything serious.
I appreciate this content so much, it never fails to make my day and you guys do a great job of being fun and entertaining no matter what your own circumstances are. My levels of respect are immaculate, Thank you guys and everybody in production.
"Intelligence has nothing to do with politics" -- Londo, Babylon 5 The hearing looked like security theater, the act looks like security theater; it doesn't address the core & anyone with a dollar to spend can buy a sh!!tload of data from the many data miners that are out there that have mined, collected, and sell it for a fee. This includes going through legal means and shadier means to buy/sell this data. The core of the issue is the data itself that is accumulated to no end.
Never commented on any of your channels and I love yalls content but u said dont take my guns but whats going on with tik tok is very similar to the weapon bans
Obviously people who have no idea about technology making decisions for all of us is very worrying. However there is a genuine concern about tiktok and china gathering data. I think tiktok should be banned, but your right that the idiots like this person muddying the water will complicate matters. I appreciate that tiktok user's want to keep it but there are legitimate concerns, also bear in mind that all these social media apps are banned in china including tiktok but China is lobbying for it to be used in other countries. The whole thing does seem very suspect.
The issue is the countries listed collect user information and the government doesn't want them having access to the personal information of Americans. It makes sense tbh
- Good content but the cringeworthy reaction / questions asked turned me off . I can’t believe the amount of “ big words “ bullying and ignorance on show by the inquisitors . Absolutely beyond facepalm level .
It's scary how uneducated members in Congress are on this subject. Reminds me of the elderly who go to the Walmart electronics department and just throw their phones at them and say "fix it"
Tik tok needs to be banned imo it only has ruined because these stupid challenges have been happened and people have died! it has only ruined things more and gotten worse
1st of all, I don't mind it ceasing to exist, and 2nd I hope VPNs are fine for innocent use cases like trying to watch a movie unavailable on a popular streaming service yet available in countries like Canada. Unless that's also illegal, then what are VPNs actually used for anyway?
That’s the problem. A VPN is supposed to protect users, but if it is then criminalized to use protections no matter the use, we loose the right to protect ourselves.
Time changes all things. One day everyone is completely invested in Facebook then the next fad comes. Every generation has their favorite apps and the lengths people go to to either save or condemn them is surely surprising.
@@joon0 considering how vague my comment was I'm surprised you knew what I meant. Please go ahead and tell us what you meant by missing the mark. Since considering the video was full of different information and points so with all the things that were said I'd love to know what you meant 🤔 😁🫥

- Good content but the cringeworthy reaction / questions asked turned me off .
I can’t believe the amount of “ big words “ bullying and ignorance on show by the inquisitors . Absolutely beyond facepalm level .
It's scary how uneducated members in Congress are on this subject. Reminds me of the elderly who go to the Walmart electronics department and just throw their phones at them and say "fix it"
Well you have the same birthday as James Cordon and Dua Lipa so
This humans don’t understand that exist Shorts on UA-cam !
Reason education is important
Tik tok needs to be banned imo it only has ruined because these stupid challenges have been happened and people have died! it has only ruined things more and gotten worse
Basically sanctions.
uh ohhhh
1st of all, I don't mind it ceasing to exist, and 2nd I hope VPNs are fine for innocent use cases like trying to watch a movie unavailable on a popular streaming service yet available in countries like Canada.
Unless that's also illegal, then what are VPNs actually used for anyway?
That actually is. It actually is pirating and the companies can get sued for providing to regions they are not licensed for.
That’s the problem. A VPN is supposed to protect users, but if it is then criminalized to use protections no matter the use, we loose the right to protect ourselves.
If you use a vpn your provider wouldn’t know what you are doing anyways so who cares what you do 😂
@@williamk52 Well shit, I'm on copium and VPNs are abruptly dead if that deadly bill passes.
@@ItzAkela Aight, sure... but I wouldn't be saying that if our government starts committing tactical espionage action on Verizon 24/7, lol
I hate TikTok so... Lo so long dance... Never dance again
Look its Buzzfeed .......
These reps/senators aren't dumb... No really they are though. They are trying to attack something they lack understanding on... That's dumb.
Eh, UA-cam Shorts is my main so
Time changes all things. One day everyone is completely invested in Facebook then the next fad comes. Every generation has their favorite apps and the lengths people go to to either save or condemn them is surely surprising.
Way to completely miss the point by 500 miles.
@@joon0 considering how vague my comment was I'm surprised you knew what I meant. Please go ahead and tell us what you meant by missing the mark. Since considering the video was full of different information and points so with all the things that were said I'd love to know what you meant 🤔 😁🫥
