As a Software Engineer and having a PhD in AI, I can without a doubt say that companies with all the sophisticated data-oriented algorithms have access to all the user-data, your parents don't know you that well the way an algorithm knows you nowadays. Also, as someone who has worked as an engineer in Chinese companies, there is always a CCP member (at least one and more than one) at highest position(s) at any public or private organization, so, it is obvious she is lying and saving her job. Regarding the question about master admin which she replied NO, every company has a senior server engineer/admin. So yeah, she saying No is absurd and utter non-sense.

They do not "share" the data. This is a play on words. They allow the data to be accessed by 3rd parties including China. They just didn't pick it up and give it to them. Google uses the same term "word-play" with their apps.

[@springerworks002]

The CCP owns tik tok, so they aren't technically a third party. That includes every single company owned by the CCP.

[@TuhljinTampergauge]

This word game doesn't make sense unless the information is publicly available. I'm in tech and if data is made available to a third party, that's called "sharing" the data. You don't have to physically hand it to them or otherwise carry out the process without their request for it to be called sharing. That's ridiculous. TikTok needed to be banned ages ago.

[@MD-pz3cn]

Read up on the security vulnerabilities in the TikTok API. It's essentially malware for phones. Credentials can be lifted from the in-app browser and sent anywhere the app devs want. It's a cyber tool disguised as a social media app.

They don't share data, they sell it.

They pull the same thing with anything they are involved with or outright own in all industries. So far from my research and observations. And when these people are being asked serious, legitimate questions by the Senate, if they refuse to cooperate, hold them in contempt! It's essentially a courtroom and I admit IDK all the ins and outs of these inquiries but I'd imagine that contemptuous persons are in fact not recognizing the authority of the governing body requesting serious and important information!

[@raybates3119]

When someone prefaces their answer to a question with, "Here's what I can tell you...", that means they are not answering truly or completely as that preface is known as a "qualifier". Also, she never agrees that she "doesn't know" the answers to the questions he is asking, even though he directly asked her numerous times if her testimony is that she doesn't know. She says, "I wouldn't be able to tell you", which are carefully parsed words that allow her to plausibly deny she is committing perjury. Her dress and Kinesics also indicate she is not forthcoming. Her shirt is buttoned all the way to the top and her arms are forming a barrier in front of her even though she is separated from Senator Hawley by not only distance but a table. Her eye movement and facial expressions also indicate a lack of truthfulness. At times she appears to be searching for an answer with her eyes. A forensic interviewer would eat her alive. Finally, she's a total "Karen", hairdo and all.

[@dorianward4909]

[@elliedaniels2245]

Awesome comment! LOL!

[@robward155]

Look, I don’t defend her in any way, but any defense lawyer will tell you not to answer a question with a yes or no if you think it is a question that cannot simply be answered with a yes or no. His repeated demand she answer yes or no in any court of law would be met with a lawyer asking the judge to have her answer yes or no at which time she would tell the judge she cannot. He would then instruct the lawyer to ask the question a different way or accept her answer. These hearings are the same as a court of law only no Judge presides, thus the arrogance of legislatures (both D & R) insisting on yes or no answer.s. You can tell he is frustrated that she won’t answer his question the way he wants it answered, but that is the witnesses right to do so. It also is evidenced by the fact he cannot hold her in contempt of Congress for her refusal to answer yes or no. Again, I don’t care for her and don’t approve of TikTok because I do believe they are owned and used as a subversive data mining social app by the Chinese Government, but you can’t change our laws and procedures simply because that is your belief. If they truly are doing something illegal, then the DOJ should investigate and present evidence and charges to that affect, not just showboat and make a mockery of the system for your own political benefit.
