TikTok CEO faces scrutiny from US Congress over China ties and security risks.
TL;DR Summary
TikTok users are mocking members of Congress for their questions to CEO Shou Chew during a hearing about the app's potential national security threats and connections to China. Some of the questions were deemed irrelevant or showed a lack of understanding of modern technology. TikTok is facing a potential ban, but a CBS News/YouGov poll shows that only 39% of those younger than 30 support a TikTok ban. ByteDance flew out more than 30 famous TikTokkers to Washington to advocate for the app, and the company recently updated its privacy policy to allow the app to collect biometric data on US users.
