..issue is whether the company, tiktok, would commit to not selling it to anyone and just using it for its own purposes internally. i can get back to you on the details. mr chew denies the claims, and says all us data is being stored inside america after the app created a billion dollarfirewall to alleviate concerns. we do not collect body, face or voice data. legally, it s unclear how a ban would work but politically, it may be damaging. if you re a politician trying to win over young voters, banning their favourite app may cost you. the president has has made an effort to demonstrate in the past that he values and cares about young people and their opinions and i think that the fact that that is not been to something that that he has publicly discussed when talking about tiktok, i think that can be - that can a do you feel let down, then? i wouldn t say i m let down. i would say i i hope to see clear
joy. ashley: congresswoman your reaction to this last-ditch effort by the ceo? i think certainly we have a lot of concern with tiktok as you know. it s banned, prohibited on federal devices. and, you know, it s an app. that has an algorithm that is based on surveillance data. so we need to get that information, energy and commerce is leading the way on this. do they follow your key strokes? do they collect passwords? what data, what facial recognition data and voice data are they collecting and is that going to the chinese communist party? we need to get the answers on that. first and foremost is, you know, do we need to ban tiktok in the united states? what s it doing for our children? and then the second thing is we need to look forward to the future so that no app. or computer programming spies on american citizens again. and energy and commerce is leading the way. todd: in the end, congresswoman, will tiktok be completely banned in the u.s.a.? it s very possible.
