Shou Zi Chew, the CEO of TikTok, appeared before the U.S. Congress on a warm summer day in Washington, D.C. Congress held the hearing to address concerns about the popular social media app, which has been accused of censoring content and sharing user data with the Chinese government.
Chew felt a mixture of nervousness and determination as he entered the hearing room. He knew that the future of TikTok depended on his performance at the hearing.
The hearing began with a series of questions from the members of Congress. They asked Chew about TikTok’s data collection policies and whether the app had ever shared user data with the Chinese government. Chew responded calmly, stating that TikTok did not share user data with any foreign government, including the Chinese government.
The members of Congress also expressed concerns about the potential censorship of content on TikTok. They asked Chew whether the app had ever removed content at the request of the Chinese government. Chew replied that TikTok had a strict content moderation policy based on the community guidelines and did not discriminate against any particular political viewpoint.
Chew was also questioned about TikTok’s use of user data to target advertising. He explained that TikTok collected user data to improve the app’s algorithms and to deliver a more personalized user experience. However, he assured the members of Congress that TikTok did not sell user data to third-party advertisers.
As the hearing drew to a close, Chew felt a sense of relief. He had successfully addressed the concerns of the members of Congress and had shown that TikTok was committed to protecting user data and promoting free speech. However, he knew that the battle to win over the hearts and minds of American lawmakers was far from over. He left the hearing room determined to continue working towards making TikTok a safe and welcoming place for users worldwide.
