Mr. Chew, if I turn the Airplane mode on, can I control the plane???
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
CEO: No, You turn on airplane mode so you don’t control the plane accidentally.
Congress: that mean you can control the plane when you turn off Airplane mode, so you said yes.
It may not control the airplane, but it will control congressmen.
Yes of course you can….😂😂😂😂
“Mr Chew, if I leave my TikTok at home, will it sleep with my wife?”
Tik tok can penetrate through any defences without user authorisation according to the Pirate of the Caribbean
Congress : that’s not my child it’s tiktok child
🤣🤣🤣
😅
😅😂😅😂😅😂
Mr Chew, if I turn on Bluetooth, do my teeth turn blue?
😂😂😂
Underrated comment 😂
BHahahahaha
Lmao 🤣 😂 damn boy
😂😂😂😂😂😂wkwkwk..
Why are congress men and women asking questions they know nothing about? Bring in an IT expert and let them ask the question on behalf of congress. 🤦♂️
It’s not that bad considering they’re surely knowledge enough in their profession, but would it be too much for them to screen their questions to an IT guy so they can collaborate and formulate the question they really want an answers on.
You think there’s a single republican with a decent understanding of technology?
There was one with some IT background who had some legit questions regarding the feasibility of the project to wall off US personal data from China.
However, I agree that most of these questions are nonsense
@jamescuttler8047 not even the Democrats do either they’re all old
Then the hearing is pointless.
Politicians are so out of touch with reality.
They are both. Other asking questions which he doesn’t understand that the other answering to questions which he should be understanding.
The politician’s questions make sense.
They are literally in a wrong generation
Actually the ceo is playing dumb because he prob knows tiktok is spyware and propaganda for the ccp
@@OttoAim45it doesnt. Anything has to access the network to connect to the internet.
I thought US politicians were stupid, now I know.
Brother, at the end of the day all the CEO said was let me get back to you, he knew he couldn’t simply say no. The question totally make sense, why put so much effort into his mimics to make the CM look stupid (looks like he’s addressing a child) when all he could have said is “no”, and btw if I’m connected to your wifi it is utterly easy to get a scan of all connected devices, but yh support the data farms, they’re so edgy and quirky
worse man. the public and system is, what they say doesn’t reflect what they think. it reflects what narrative they’re trying to manipulate into being accepted.
The question was great . He let him evade it .
If you think the question was dumb, why didn’t the CEO refute the claim that it can access other devices on the network??
He said he didn’t know. How could the head of the entire company not know for sure if the app access other devices on the network 🤯🤯
What’s even more mind boggling is thousands of commentators on here all missed this question and out of an abundance of confidence, call the person asking this stupid.
The first question was silly. But he corrected it later by asking if TikTok could try to access other devices connected to the same network which was a legitimate question. Nothing stupid there. If TikTok from a child’s device introduces Trojans into all devices that are connected to the same network, then it could get access to the dad’s or mom’s work laptop 😮😮
“Mr. Chew if i increase my brightness, do i become smarter ?”
This needs to be pinned
lmao
Off-topic, but very clever! 👏

Wdym off topic @@HEm-ro7bd
When the question is so stupid it makes you question if you’re stupid.
its actually not stupid. look at yourself in the mirror and think about what he is trying to ask… Its about accessing other devices beyond internet..
by accessing he means if the app does anything about those devices which it has no need to.
Been in cybersecurity for years, the question is not stupid just because you do not understand. Tiktok (and countless other apps) will access your network, they can monitor your traffic the same as your ISP will. Typically big companies like this will collect this data, save it and then use it to personalize ads or content you receive. Congress is worried that in Tiktok’s case, they are collecting this data and then selling it back to the Chinese government. That is essentially the question he is asking.
@@TheRealGigaCatYou really edited this and still wrote looks in the mirror.
@@Cokbotmy fate in humanity is so low that i believe every godamn software, game, and social media platform company, do this like it’s tuesday.
This comment should have way more likes 😂
Our lawmakers are embarrassing.
The fact that these people are actually allowed to make decisions is mind blowing.
They’re a reflection of the people who keep electing them, who are also embarrassing
@@pikaskewyou sir deserve my upvote.. Murica
@@newdawnfades263you didn’t understand the question he asked. But he could of phrase it better.
He was asking IF tiktok could access other devices connected to the same wifi network. Think of it like how Bluetooth can discover your wireless device by pairing/ syncing with it, but on the WLAN network instead, open connection devices with no security can be discovered and accessed.
This was a very valid technical question but it was not worded correctly, and notice how the ceo said he would get back to him on that if its a technical question, he understood.
I knew exactly what the congressman was trying to ask. It’s the question that needs to be asked but that the CEO will do anything to dance around. The CEO is going to do anything he can to avoid admitting the extreme anti-privacy practices that TikTok uses.
Mr. Chew, if I have an iPhone, does that make me the phone?
No no…Mr. Congressman to access that feature first you have to buy our new MePhone

💀
That made me laugh out loud
hahahahahah
“Mr. Chew I accepted cookies from your website but I haven’t recieved them yet”

I am confused, is that realy from Sun Tzu?

This got me ngl 😂

“Mr.Chew, if I watch too many videoes on my screen. Do my eyes become square?”
My former English teacher, who was a kind old man, told me that many members of the U.S. Congress lacked basic knowledge of science and engineering. Now I believe it.
You are right, this senator sounds likes a fool, he doesn’t have any basic knowledge about science, shame for USA
Lies again? Spank Bang Singapore Brazil
I’m sorry Mr NazriB but I have no clue what u just said
Same here in Taiwan
Look at the President you got the answer 😂
This conversation sounds like the ones I have with my dad when i try to help him on his computer.
this is oddly relatable
“If I turn Bluetooth on, will my teeth become blue?”
“Mr chew, if I charge my phone can Tik tok get access to my electricity bill?”
“Mr. Chew do tiktok have access to the wall plug by using the charging cable ?”
Mr.Chew is intelligent man. He answers every question politely and I like the way he answers each and every question. He is calm and poised!
It’s the normals in Singapore vs America these senators sound so rude and bitter while asking these ridiculous questions meanwhile Mr chew answers politely the American culture is showing a lot here
