VIDEO: Live Now – TikTok CEO Testifies Before House Committee
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew Testifies Before Congress to Defend the China-Based App’s Data Privacy Amid Calls For TikTok Ban

- Questions zero in on user-data access, the danger posed to kids
- Singapore-born Chew downplays TikTok’s connection to China
- Lawmakers from both parties give scathing critiques of the app
TikTok CEO is currently in Washington begging the government not to ban the Chinese app. But in China, every single American social media platform is banned. A TikTok ban in the United States would be major good news for these 3 companies.
Right now, Twitter has a lot to say on the discussion:
