The CEO of TikTok, Shou Chew, says "the facts and the constitution are own our side". He explains the app doesn't expect to go anywhere, they instead plan to sue!

I'm just dying in laughter at the idea a Singaporean CEO explaining the constitution to Congress.

At a hearing across the Capitol, Sen #TomCotton (R-AR) grilled the chief executive of #TikTok, #ShouChew, about his nation of origin. Cotton repeatedly demanded to know whether Mr. Chew, who is from #Singapore & of Chinese descent, was Chinese, held a Chinese passport or was a member of the Chinese Communist Party.

“No, senator — again, I’m Singaporean,” Mr. Chew responded w/agitation after saying several times that he was not Chinese.

This week on my #podcast, I read my recent @medium column, "How To Make a Child-Safe #TikTok: Have you tried not spying on kids?" The column was inspired by one of the most bizarre exchanges during the Congressional grilling of TokTok CEO #ShouChew:

The ultra-#cringe digital #phrenology back-and-forth between Rep #BuddyCarter and #TikTok's #ShouChew:

#PupillaryDilation

Carter: Why do you need to know where the eyes are if you’re not seeing if they’re dilated? Chew: —and the data is stored locally on your local device and deleted after the use, if you use it for facial. Again, we do not collect body, face, or voice data to identify our users. Carter: I find that hard to believe. It is our understanding that they’re looking at the eyes. How do you determine what age they are then? Chew: We rely on age-gating as our key age assurance — Carter: Age? Chew: — gating. It’s when you ask the user what age they are. We’ve also developed some tools, where we look at their public profile, then go through the videos that they post to see whether — Carter: Well, that’s creepy. Tell me more about that. Chew: It’s public. So, if you post a video, you choose whether to go public, that’s how you get people to see your video. We look at those to see if it matches the age that you talked about. Now, this is a real challenge for our industry because privacy versus age assurance is a really big problem — Carter: Look, look, you keep talking about the industry, we’re talking about TikTok here — — House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing on TikTok, March 23, 2023.

Does anyone have any credible sources on Shou Chew's testimony? I'm only seeing inflammatory headlines from right-wing news.

From what I can see, not be able to answer nonsensical questions from people who don't understand your technology is being labeled as "evasive". #TikTok #TikTokTestimony #ShouChew

Fuck me, one of the Congress people just asked Shou Chew if TikTok “accesses the home wifi”
