Imagine you are the CEO of Tiktok and have to give an argument in front of the Senate on why the US should not ban Tiktok.
Hello members of the Senate. My name is Shou Zi Chew, and I am the CEO of Tiktok. Tiktok is a platform that surfaces short videos based on an algorithm that predicts your interests and likelihood of engaging with a video. We have a very large user base who, through engaging with our platform, have found communities that support and provide vast amounts of new knowledge. Not only is Tiktok a source of information and news, we have invested in making sure only appropriate content is surfaced, especially for children. We take privacy and security very seriously. Some members of the Senate are concerned that because Tiktok is held by a Chinese company, that we have secret ties to China. I can assure you that that is not the case. I believe Tiktok has brought users entertainment and education that warrants it to continue operating as a company. Please consider supporting Tiktok. Thank you member of the Senate for taking the time today to learn about Tiktok.
