Chat. Just leave you a little bit about this chat. These hearings are a joke. Okay, they're given I think a small amount of time for them to discuss with these guys.
They they pretty much order these guys to show up from tech companies or whatever and they had to show up and answer questions And they have very little time right? But they have. They have to answer. And these guys. they have the time of the day to ask good questions and get feedback.
and they troll watch this. Three years ago I became the CEO of Tick Tock Today we have more than a billion monthly active users around the world, including over 150 million in the United States Oh app. It's a place where people can be creative and curious and we're close to 5 million American businesses mostly small businesses to go to find new customers and the fuel their growth. My life.
Now As Tick Tock has grown, we've tried to learn the lessons of companies that have come before us, especially when it comes to the safety of teenagers. While they're vast, majority people on Tick Tock are over. okay, well that is cappuccino by the way. Okay, I'm just gonna say how it is, that is absolute Capital Cap 18.
One of and one of our fastest growing demographics are people over 35. we spend a lot of time adopting measures to protect teenagers. Many of those measures are firsts for the social media industry. We forbid direct messaging for people under 16 and we have a 16 minute watch Time by default for those under 18.
We have a suite of family pairing tools so that parents can participate in their teens experience and make the choices. They are right for their family. Uh, they don't. We want Tick Tock to be a place where teenagers can come to learn which is why we recently launched a feed that exclusively features educational videos about stem.
Stem videos already have over 116 billion views on Tick Tock and I think Tick Tock is inspiring a new generation to discover a passion for Math and Science and I would also like to talk about National Security concerns that you have raised that we take very very seriously. Let me start by addressing a few misconceptions: yo chat I think there's a big solution, it gets them boring and I'm being uh I'm being a white hair, a dumb a uh blue hair Twitter handy when you buy a device. Okay, if you are a parent that buys a device you should be allowed. Um there should be easy settings to put in that make it like that is going to be my child's device.
It has a bunch of settings that are different and things operate differently that need your green lighting on a lot of on a lot of things like every app that this will download will have automatic settings from parent and if you want you want to change it it refers access from the mother devices. So let's say like the device linked to other ones that are like is I Guess there is. Yeah, yes there is Okay, you're an idiot. Just stop these things don't They don't work in the In in in the real world they're just so bad they are so bad it's so trash is about. Buy Dance of which we are a subsidiary. My dance is not owned or controlled by the Chinese government because the person is a private company. 60 of the company is owned by global institutional investors, 20 is owned by the founder and 20 owned by employees around the world. Biden says five board members.
Three of them are American Now Tick Tock itself is not available in mainland China. We're headquartered in Los Angeles and in Singapore and we have 7 000 employees in the US today. Thank you man, that's still. We have heard important concerns about the potential for unwanted foreign access to U.S data and potential manipulation of The Tick Tock U.S ecosystem.
Our approach has never been to dismiss or trivialize any of these concerns. We have addressed them with real action. Now that's what we've been doing for the last two years, building what amounts to a firewall, the seals of protected U.S user data from unauthorized foreign access. The bottom line is this: American Data is stored on American soil by an American company overseen by American personnel.
We call this initiative project Texas. That's why Oracle is headquartered today. U.S Tick Tock Data is stored but aren't these guys employed by the same Source Bro Money controls the world. If the employees that their salary is paid by the the the top company and it just goes down, they still control the people Like what? How does that happen at all Bro bro, Bro that is this is I Don't think this is this the third party.
Is it? Wait, chat. Is this a full third party? Or it's still them I Don't get it to have my Dumber If it's a third party, it's good. If not, it's not. It is fully third party.
Okay, let me explain the difference. Okay, the difference is it's like a if you did If your company. If your company did bad and you want to investigate them, investigate, hiring a third-party company to do a third party investigation is different than hiring your own legal department to investigate them. these are two extremely different things are gonna that are gonna happen.
Now that's it. By default in Oracle Service only vetted Personnel Operating in a new company called Tick Tock Us Data Security can control access to this data now. Additionally, we have plans for this company to report to an independent American board with strong security credentials. Now there's still some work to do.
We have Legacy US data sitting in our service in Virginia and in Singapore we're deleting those and we expect that to be complete this year. When that is done, all protected. U.S Data will be under the protection of U.S Law and under the control of the U.S Lab Security Team. This eliminates the concern that some of you have shared with me that Take Talk user data can be subject to Chinese law.
This goes further by the way than what any other company you know this makes sense is done right. I Think yeah. We also provide unprecedented transparency and security for the source code for The Tick, Tock app and recommendation engine. Third party validators like Oracle and others will review and validate our source code and algorithms. This will help ensure the Integrity of the code that powers what Americans see on our app. We will further provide access to researchers which helps them study and monitor our content ecosystem. Now we believe we are the oh yeah only I Want to hear this first. It's important concepts of transparency now.
Trust is about actions we take. We have to earn the trust with decisions we make for our company and our products. The potential security, privacy, content manipulation concerns raised about tech talk are really not unique to us. The same issues to apply to other companies We Believe What's needed are clear transparent rules.
They apply broadly to All Tech Companies ownership is not at the core of addressing these concerns Now as I conclude: Trap Social media Okay, don't miss the World memes or power I'm not kidding. Yep, okay, if it's not this company, it'll be another okay or it'll be another if if unfortunately. I Hate this. people are falling behind if they don't use the app in a lot of areas.
That's just how it is. If the whole world uses this app for a bunch of different reasons including business right and people don't use it, they fall behind that. That's how it is that. That is how it is.
More than 150 million Americans Who love our platform and we know we have a responsibility to protect them. which is why I'm making the following commitments to you and to all our users: Number one: we will keep safety, particularly for teenagers as a top priority for us. Number two, we will firewall protected U.S data from unwanted foreign access Number three Tick Tock will remain a place for free expression and will not be manipulated by any government. And fourth, we will be transparent and we will give access to third-party independent monitors to remain accountable for our commitments.
I'll be grateful for any feedback that you have and I look forward to your questions. Thank you very much. You know what you know. Adam Hey, what he said is true.
Okay, are you aware I do believe that they have a good system for it if if it's true I can't say this through an answer. but I I think the infrastructure seems legitimate as a plan. so I mean aware of Chinese Communist Party Leader Chairman XI Jinping's comments in May 2021 during a communist Bureau study session where he instructed colleagues to Target different countries, different audiences with short form video. Are you aware of these comments? Yes or no Congressman I'm not aware of these comments.
Okay one. as was pointed out by chairwoman: Rogers you have regular contact with Chinese Communist Party Secretary Mr Zhang Fuping Who is your boss at Bite Dance? Correct? No, No, no, he's neither my boss. No, do we have frequent contact, but you have regular contact with Bite Dance. Uh with uh, the CEO of Bike Dance who is Mr Zhang Fuping is the editor-in-chief He's not my colleague representative. Burgess Uh, a few minutes ago exposed that Tick Tock and Bike Dance share legal teams. You confirmed this Correct. Our General Counsel is yes, an American lawyer. Yeah.
Also, my colleague representative Latta confirmed that your parent company by Dance currently can access user data. Yes, let's uh, we have to be more specific. Yes After project Texas No I'm not asking after project Texas I'm asking Bro: She asked a question and she answers it herself. Bro: Yes after project Texas No I'm not asking after project Texas I'm asking now Yes, some user data is public Data Congresswoman which means everybody.
What's interesting to me is that you have used the word transparency over a half a dozen times in your opening testimony and subsequently again in your answers to my colleagues. Yet the interesting thing to me is that Bite Dance, your parent company has gone out of their way to hide an airbrush corporate structure ties to the CCP the company's founder and their activities. You can look no further than the fact that by Dan's website has been scrubbed. In fact, we found web pages from the Beijing Internet Association the Industry Association charged with Communist Party building uh work of internet companies in Beijing they have been archived but since deleted.
Makes you kind of wonder why yes or no Bite Dance is required to have a member of the Chinese government on its board with veto power. Is that correct? No, that is not correct. The Bike Dance owns some Chinese businesses and you're talking about this very special subsidiary that is called Chinese Business License. so I'm gonna have to move on.
You've said repeatedly that there is no threat that this is an inner a platform for entertainment and for fun I Have to ask you then if there is no threat to Americans if there is no threat to our data privacy security, why did an internal Memo from Tick Tock corporate headquarters explicit I had wait is this is a congress person with a sign he points at Italy coach Senior Management to quote down what is this a circus yo I Mean that's normal bro. it's like he's I don't I don't get it I don't get anything Is this supporting evidence I don't understand it I mean it's normal I'm a dumb now. Play the parent company by dance. Downplay the translation downplay AI If I'm a leaked Tick Tock Memo: Play the parent company Bite Dance Is that true? Why would they say downplay the China Association and downplay AI this is from an internal Memo from your company.
Why? If you had nothing to hide, would you need to downplay the association with Bite Dance in China Congressman I have not seen this Channel Good Question Mr Show I'd like to direct your attention to the screen for a short video if you don't mind me as chat is this as so what is ASF me as at the house energy and the Commerce Committee wait thank you I mean this is a joke one and two I mean it says purposes only I Know that what this video is it is pretty it guys. it is pretty educational and doesn't have any likes so this didn't reach anybody and if it did and it was a problem they would have been reported probably I Guess I had to be a shill but yo I mean bro bro Guys guys guys listen to me very carefully. Okay I get it's a it's a bad joke okay and it shouldn't be high in likes What the okay but using a low liked thing uh doesn't doesn't say that it wasn't like taken down brother brother. This has been 475 likes in in comparison is pretty much unknown. I'm sure he got enough light on the track. It would have been taken down though. that's how it is. It's not.
This is not pattern of behavior, it's not. Mr Show That video was posted 41 days ago. As you can see, it has captioned me as F at the House Energy and Commerce Committee on March 23rd of this year this video was posted before this hearing was publicly noticed. I Think that's a very interesting point to raise.
but more concerning is the fact that it names as chairwoman by name your own Community Guidelines: States That you have a Firm Stance Against enabling violence on or off Tick Tock We do not allow people to use our platform to threaten or incite violence or to promote violent extremist organizations, individuals or acts. Yo yo you guys I Have to be I guess I have to be branded Okay, but I'm gonna tell this again guys. if if tick tocks that are popular get like a 10 million views on average 10 million views, right? Okay, showing a a post with 475 likes doesn't show poor moderation. Okay, that would be like the equivalent of picking up a stream on Twitch that streams porn at one viewer and saying yo, is it true that you get to distribute porn to um, underage viewers across the US on your platform Because look, we just saw a guy with one viewer on the bottom string porn buried in the directory like Yo Yo Guys, It's hard.
It's hard when there is a threat to Public Safety or an account is used to promote or glorify off-platform violence, We ban the account. This video has been up for 41 days. It is a direct threat to the chairwoman of this committee, the people in this room, and yet it Still Remains on the platform And you expect us to believe that you are capable of maintaining the data, security, privacy and security of 150 million Americans Where you can't even protect the people in this room I Think that is a blatant display of how vulnerable people who use tick tock are. You couldn't take action after 41 days when a clear threat, a very violent threat to the chairwoman of this committee and the members of this committee was posted on your platform. You damn well know that you cannot protect the data and security of this committee or the 150 million users of your app because it is an extension of the CCP And with that I Yield back. Can I respond? Sure, No, We're going to move on, Huh? What lady yields back? Why don't you have to responded Gentleman from Georgia Mr Buddy Carter is recognized for five minutes. Thank you Madam Chair Mr Crew Welcome to the most bipartisan Committee In Congress We may not always agree on how to get there, but we care. Okay, chat.
This is going to be an unhinged thing I'm going to say again, don't get mad at me. let's try. This might come from a not understanding how things work up. Let's say you want things to be moderated to an insane amount, right? Reason to be so.
And you hired 50 000 people to review things so that things with 500 likes would get banned and Report properly. You know, because you guys a lot. Yes, a lot of things while things are automated. They like the Manpower What if you were to hire 50 000 employees to review content so that this would be banned, right? What happens when the site falls off, People use it less right? And if the five people one I'm gonna get smalled, don't always get always get mauled at layoffs and like that and people people cry wolf.
Well, there are fifty thousand people and a site teller falls off. They will have to fire like thousands and thousands and people are going to knuckle mold. It's a question. You guys say, who cares? Okay, make sense.
So when big Tech makes the office, everybody cries. But you can say who cares Now got it. They're about our that's hypocrisy. Ever seen it? Our national security.
We care about our economy and we sure as heck hear about our children. We sure do. And that's why you're here today because secure victory in two. World Wars What the is this? We link this oh, that was interesting actually economy and we sure as heck care about our children.
We sure do. And that's why you're here today because two-thirds of all the youth in our country are on your on your app. They spent an average of 95 minutes on your app and you know, research has shown that Tick Tock is the most addictive platform out there. If your children posts this on the internet, it is your fault.
As a parent, it is not the app's fault. I Don't give a about your argument if you're a child posts this is it is your fault. Parents dumbass blame Country Ass Andy dumbasses I Hate this. Not only do they acquire the app the under the description of the panther, the device acquired the app, acquired the tools to smoke and to post and more greenlit across the board.
Yet when the content goes out, it's tick tock's fault. you're a idiot. The reason for that is we've been told is because it has the most advanced algorithm in the Chinese Communist Party knows this and I don't speak for everyone. but there are those on this committee including myself who believe that the Chinese Communist party is engaged in psychological warfare through Tick Tock to deliberately influence U.S Children You know you see behind me. you'll fuel up behind me. Mr You see some of the challenges that we've seen on: Tick Tock How to pass out You know about the mix. You know about the how do the burger one the Blackout Challenge You know about the Uh NyQuil chicken challenge the Benadryl challenge the dragon's breath liquid nitrogen trend are the challenge that promotes car theft I Want to ask you as I understand it there's a sister app in China Do we can I'm sorry if I'm butchering the the pronunciation. Do they have these same things over there? Do they have these kind of challenges? Uh China Yo bro I Appreciate.
We had Vine from America and we had to find the tide pod challenge. I Don't think we're any better. Y'all right? Do you say yes or no? I'm not sure because well come on now you're not sure I Really? I'm not sure. remember you took the the chair lady.
she said you got to tell the truth. Okay, do you know whether they have these kind of challenges like this over in? China because it's my understanding they don't I I'm not sure because I spend my energies running Tick Tock And you don't look at any of your other competitors or look at anything similar to yours so you don't know whether they have. They don't have this over in China I Did we have it here? But they don't have it here? and that's that's why I'm I'm asking you this, why is it that Tick Tock consistently fails to identify and moderate these kinds of of harmful videos? Is this like a silverport that there's a chance that your users and your youth is brain dead compared to the ones in the country you're trying to? I mean guys. I I Listen I'm not sugarcoating China Okay, I don't give a I'm just saying it if they don't pose this type of content and they don't engage in these activities.
Does that mean that the users are just not as brain dead? Why is it? Why is it that you allowed? Dude, we've already heard. God Bless you from parents who who are here with us who have lost children. I I Submit to you. Everybody up here cares about the children of this country.
Tell me. Tell me why this is a real industry Challenge And we're working. No, no industry this is Tick Tock is they're talking about Tick Tock Is it that you can't control this? and although I believe in giving credit where credits do, I want to thank you? It's my understanding that the video that threatened life with the chairwoman has been has been removed. Thank you for doing that.
Sorry, we had to bring it to your attention here. It's across all social media all right. Let's check it out. Then it's got a let's go to my uh Twitch.tv Spank a stranger's butt Challenge Live on Air Boom Boom Holy it is not And yes it is not in in the industry bro, that's just the lands even social media. What do you have for me Me: Why why this goes on? This is an industry challenge for all of us here. Operating okay. so much for industry challenge: I Want to shift gears real quick? I Want to talk about Biometric? Um and Matrix and and I want to talk specifically. Can you tell me right now? Can you say with a hundred percent certainty that Tick Tock does not use the phone's camera to determine whether the content that elicits a pupil dilation should be Amplified by the algorithm Can you tell me that we do not collect body, face or voice data to identify the guy said what we do not the the one you don't No, the only face data that you'll get that we collect is when you use the filters to have see sunglasses on your face.
We need to know where your eyes are. Why do you need to know about that Yo yo? I'm working with iPhone When your camera is being accessed, there's a specific light that that blinks on right. Same for location. same for microphone.
orange or green or blue. There are colors that your phone when. when the device has a camera enabled and is being used, there's a light above supper. Do you think that there's like a setting that hides it when things open? Bro.
Just stop. Just Just stop. You don't. No, the only face data that you'll get that we collect is when you use the filters to have see sunglasses on your face.
We need to know where your eyes are. Why do you need to know what the eyes are if you're not seeing if they're dilated and that data is stored on your local device and deleted after use if you use it for facial? Again, we do not collect body, face or voice data to identify our users. Even then you're making the content. you're not looking at content to add.
Yeah, the response is your body and your pupil dilates it. If even if you even if you tracked your eyes, if you're making content with sunglasses, who gives a If your pupils dilated or not, you're not looking and you're not being Quantified on the content, you're watching it, you're making some to I Find that hard to believe. It's our understanding that they're looking at the eyes. How do you determine what age they are? Then we rely on age gating SLK age dating which is when you ask the user what HDR We have also developed some tools where we look at the public profile to go through the videos that they post to see whether that's creepy.
Tell me more about that is what. So if you post a video, that's you. choose that video to go public. That's how you get people to see your video, We look at those to see if you.
It matches up the age that you talked about. Now this is a real challenge for our industry because privacy versus age Assurance is a really big problem. Look, look, you keep talking about the industry we're talking about. Tick Tock Here we're talking about children dying. Do you know any children have died because of this? Do you have any idea? Can you tell me? uh Congressman again is heartbreaking. Can you tell me how many children in America have died because of challenges like this? The majority of people who use Help Platform use it for positive experiences. That's not what I ask you. They always ask you tell me the number of children of U.S Children who have died because of these challenges Congressman Again, the majority of majority of people who come on our platform I'm not talking about the majority of children I want to know a number that is all La lingo I Assume that if if he talks about him knowing this, then he acknowledges the existence that it's like kind of their fault and then it opens up the liability for them to be sued for people's death.
Uh, on their app because of them. It's just that's just how it's just how this works. Dangerous changes are not allowed on our platform. If we find them, we will remove them.
We take this. Obviously, you found one today and you removed it. We had to bring it to your attention and I know I'm at it. Oh I know I should thank you for being here.
Welcome again to the most bipartisan. Committee In Congress Gentleman yields back. We will now take a brief recess and resume in 10 minutes. the committee stands in recess.
Um, what was it at? Lady yields back. Gentleman from Mr Does Tick Tock access the home Wi-Fi Network only if the user comes on the Wi-Fi I'm sorry I may not understand that. So if I have a Tick Tock app on my phone and my phone is on my home Wi-Fi Network does Tick Tock access that? Network It will have to to access the network to get connections to the internet. If that's the question, is it possible then that it could access other devices on that home Wi-Fi Network Oh no Congressman that we do not do anything that is beyond any industry Norms Um I believe the answer to your customers no.
It could be technical. Let me get back to you. Okay I'd appreciate it if you can answer that. I'd like to change directions real quick.
Um, do you receive personal employment, salary, compensation, or benefits from Bite Dance? Yes. I do. What is your salary from Bite Dance? A Congressman If you don't mind I would prefer to keep my compensation private Good: You personally have any company shares or stock in Bite Dance or Doyen. Um.
Congressman If you don't mind I Would like to keep my personal assets private just Tick Tock The Company your only source of employment compensation. Where's your other source of income outside of Tick Tock? it's my only source of compensation. Do you have any Financial debts or obligations to Bite Dance, Durian, or any other Bite Dance Affiliated entity? Personally No. I do not. Does your management team receive separate salary, compensation or benefits from Bite Dance? Uh, we receive salaries from the employee the entities that we are employed in. but we do share in uh, the employee stock option plan that is available from from the Bike dance the top company. So you're so your primary salary comes from Tick Tock but you have other compensation that comes directed from by Dance. You can characterize it as that.
Yes, Does your management team have company shares or stock in Bite Dance or going in? Um, yes. Uh, we some of our employees are compensated in shares and backdance. Does Tick Tock share technological Resources With doyin are the two technology systems or I.T systems interconnected in any way. There are as many companies, some shared resources on some services, but it doesn't include anything that involves U.S User data Congressman is in Project Texas as we talked about, stored by default in American Soil.
but currently there is shared technology I Have to get back to you. This could be a very broad question. Like for example, we could all be using Microsoft Windows yeah, if you could get back with details on that I'd Appreciate Yes! Can Doian Personnel or employees access Tick-Tock User data not after project Texas This is not allowed. Are there employees who are employed by both Dorian and tick tock I Do not believe? So okay, that's it I don't believe, so is that it? I Mean if again, I'll allow you to come back and read response if you could give me a definitive answer I Will go back and check to be very sure.
Okay, thank you Um I'm also concerned about an issue that our chairwoman brought up um about an apparent pattern of misinformation, misrepresentation from your company in regards to the amount and extent of data that you're collecting, as well as how much has been accessed from inside. China There are dozens of public reports that conclude individuals in the People's Republic of China have been accessing data on U.S users directly contradicting several public statements by Tick Tock employees and I'm I'm referencing project Raven which was first reported on by Forbes Last October was that their investigation revealed What's that? I'm sorry I'm about out of time. Do you want to respond to that? Yes. Congressman Um, we do not condone the effort by certain former employees to access U.S Tick Tock User data in an attempt to identify the source of leaked confidential information.
We condemn these actions. After learning about them, We found a highly reputable. Law Firm The thoroughly investigate the incident we took Swift Disciplinary action against employees, were found to be involved and are implementing measures to make sure this doesn't happen again. We have made this team available to you that I think they have briefed many of you in this community very extensively and I will continue to make them very available to you as part of our transparent commitment. Thank you! My times expired I Yield back gentlemen! So they went and look at the people who posted it initially, see who did it, what's their name or whatever, and they looked at the nature of the accounts right? and I'm all about that. Okay, recognizes the lady from Illinois Ms Shakowski for five minutes I Know the morals behind that to be honest side: I don't know I I don't I don't think I care that much to be honest, but I don't know Mr Chu Your algorithms have prioritized providing harmful contact directly to children like self-harm challenges and even suicide. Just three days ago, Italy opened investigation into the Tick tock over user safety concerns after the so-called French QC challenge. don't say soon I Know you know a challenge which Others May know as the choking challenge that encourages children to bring them to the point of unconsciousness or in some cases tragically death Jesus if that, uh, if that is when I was in high school.
Rome We did this. well you breathe in and out really like a lot right? and then you put your arms like that, you go to the wall until he pushes on you and you pass the out bro. we did that shot the time dude. Well, we get up on that.
I Wanted to share this story of Chase NASCAR a 16 year old boy from New York who tragically ended his life a year ago by stepping in front of a train I Want to thank his parents again. They are here I Want to thank his parents for being here today. Don't say that well I mean just don't do that to show this Mr Choose your company Bro Bro Bro bro. You're not going to say you censor me based on my plan, my experience with the world of the chess.
Okay, yeah, it's bad. Okay, you shouldn't do that. but yeah, we did that. Okay one of my friends I remember we did the same with them and if I can eat the boy he passed down he hit his head on the back of his Locker that it was crazy destroyed their lives.
Your company destroyed their lives I Admire their courage to be here and share Chase's story in the hopes that it will prevent this from happening to other families. The content 45 and cases or you Paige was not a window to Discovery as you boldly claimed in your testimony. it wasn't content from a creator that you invited to roam the hill today or stem education content that children in China see instead his for you page was sadly a window to discover suicide. It is unacceptable, sir, that even after knowing all these dangers, you still claim to talk as something Grand to behold I want you to.
Who are you talking to? what Chase would see? Oh I think 29 months I Want to warn everyone watching that you may find this content disturbing, but we need to watch this please Blair Itself: You got to kill yourself. A word like right now and then I'm gonna put a shotgun in my mouth and blow the brains of the back of my head. Cool. This is a cute story.

No letter, no, no, goodbye, nothing. Is that a question? If I died, would you miss me with you? Mr Chu Please chat. Yeah. and this is like core core like content pieces from other sources that are all American Your technology.
Feel sorry for the parents? Literally Holy. this is natural selection Mr Chu Yes or no, Do you have full responsibility for 29 algorithms used by Tick Tock to prioritize content to its users? Yes or no please. Congressman I'll just like to if respectfully we don't mind I Would just like to start by saying it's devastating to hear about the news of yes as a father myself, yes or no. I'll repeat the question you have full responsibility over the algorithms used by Tick Tock to prioritize content to its users should be flagged as like 18 plus and it should never be on your fyp and on your algorithm.
If you're like an account that has like a child um, number on it, that's just kind of how it is. They could be where they could do a webinar with that for sure. Well, that's what I generally believe I believe that some pieces of content they're kind of like risky like that or kind of odd should be 18 plus and it shouldn't appear on your fyp if you're if you're younger. that's all.
So yeah, they can do they can do better. but I had to sound like a Glazer but um, right in my this happened at my school this Chase kid went to my school and I can confirm it wasn't because of tick tock. it was from a lot of bullying and depression. I knew him personally.
This kind of makes me upset. um chatting certain. Amazon But I think other apps I think it's an industry problem I I Do agree with that though. I think other apps across the board should have these features.

interesting. as someone who lives in America. I have never received a TikTok from someone that was educational at all. just dumb degenerate shit. they control who and what gets shown to you. These algorithms aren't to benefit educationally. its doing the opposite. Everyone is addicted to their phones and consuming content after content. its Brain Damaging and its silently taking over. This is our future guys. its up to us people to come together and understand the pros and cons with that's taking over our world. We have the tools and evidence to see where we are heading. Let us use it.
