This isn't about privacy or Meta and Google would be slapped too, this is just about the newest boogeyman for americans.
Seriously this smacks of McCarthy's grocery list in the House Unamerican Activities Committee.
If there is evidence then they need to show us. We've learned some hard lessons about not trusting our government with this stuff.
Where is it then? Where is the evidence? Can you link to it? Is there a CSPAN broadcast of it or some talking head making shit up?
I would be very surprised if there was evidence because the newspapers haven't turned up any and they aren't about to just let it sit on YouTube.
Here's the full hearing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1xEuK0Fxu8
There are also many articles across tech sites on the internet that you can find evidence of how the TikTok app is a data mining monster. If you haven't read any about it yet, it's probably just because you don't want to hear it. It's certainly not because the evidence is not out there, as there is a shitload of it.
Oh wow. All you could find is the entire 5 hour hearing? You don't have any time marks? Articles referencing it? Are you seriously just hoping I'll give up because you threw 5 hours of raw footage at me?
If there's so many articles then link them. If they proved something in that 5 hours then give me the time stamp. You don't get to make assertions that destroy people's jobs and rights to speech without actually citing something.
Oh wow, I provided literally what I said I would provide, and all you can do is complain like a brat? Go find your own shit, I have already wasted enough time attempting to help you.
Long story short, there's plenty of evidence out there and you will never look for it. Anything that I send as a reply will not be good enough, because you already have chosen what you want to believe about it.
No you fucking didn't, you tried the Internet equivalent of burying the other side of a court case in documents during discovery. And now you're getting called out on it. The only thing I've seen in that video so far is idiotic congressional representatives grand standing with canned conclusions that have nothing to do with what the CEO said. So if there's a specific point in that 5 hour reel now would be the time to reveal it.
