Mr. Chu, does TikTok access the home Wi-Fi network?
Only if the user turns on the Wi-Fi. I﹑m sorry, I may not understand the﹑
So if I have TikTok app on my phone and my phone is on my home Wi-Fi network, does TikTok access that network?
It will have to access the network to get connections to the Internet, if that﹑s the question.
Is it possible then that it could access other devices on that home Wi-Fi network?
Congressman, we do not do anything that is beyond any industry norms.
It has spiked and spied on American citizens.
I don﹑t think that spying is the right way to describe it.
The only face data that you will get that we collect is when you use the filters to have sunglasses on your face.
We need to know where your eyes are.
Why do you need to know what the eyes are if you﹑re not seeing if they﹑re dilated?
American data stored on American soil by an American company overseen by American personnel.
We call this initiative Project Texas.
Please rename your project.
Texas is not the appropriate name.
We stand for freedom and transparency, and we don﹑t want your project.
You damn well know that you cannot protect the data and security of this committee or the 150 million users of your app, because it is an extension of the CCP.
From the data it collects to the content it controls, TikTok is a grave threat of foreign influence in American life.
It hurts me to hear questions this dumb and self-serving.
Watching these congressional leaders, people we elected to represent us, are you kidding?
At least people can see how stupid the people who run our country are.
At least people can see forever positions, these no-term limits, what a problem it is to have these people get elected over and over again, never having heard their thoughts before, never having seen how stupid.
And misaligned they are, how out of touch with the American people they are, and all they care about is their own power.
If you listen to these members of Congress speak, you would think that they were rulers, emperors.
Congress is full of queens and kings and mob bosses.
These are the people that run our country, the people who are in charge of our future.
They are so incredibly stupid, like so dumb.
I, I, a guy literally asked if TikTok connects to the WiFi.
How did we get here? You'd think they'd accidentally land on a point.
And I give credit to the CEO, honestly, he weathered the storm.
He was the only one who knew what the fuck they were talking about.
These old, out of touch motherfuckers, they were bond paid for by Mark Zuckerberg.
And it's just so obvious that they've never once used the app.
I'm embarrassed for our country, I really am.
We must be the fucking laughingstock of the world right now.
