Tapper presses TikTok official on Uyghur genocide and China
Beckerman’s statements should make the world sick. The fact that he won’t acknowledge the Uyghur genocide and dismisses it as “Something I don’t focus on” is disgusting. He is a loathsome individual.
Then China pays this guy 🤣 No thank you🤬
direct quote “we have a system we are ready to implement to protect users data.” implying they are not doing that now. tapper kind of missed that though even though he repeated it.
TicToc is a Chinese Company, all roads in Chinese business world leads to CCP…It’s not the first nor the last company to deny this
Lol damn bro maybe try and sound less sus when you say “we don’t sensor genocide” or “China isn’t stealing all your data”
Why would it ever be an app necessary on federal employee phones anyway. I’d like to think they’re doing their job and not on tiktok.
Why are apps like tiktok (chinese or not) on government devices in the first place?
SERIOUSLY?? It’s not even allowed in China, no irony there🤔🤐 Nothing to be concerned about though? In fairness however, several apps should be viewed skeptically in regards to security.
I am not on Tik Tok, but this guy is not someone I would trust to protect me, regardless of his statements that “…we are ready to implement…”. Why is he not saying that he HAS implemented the protections?
As someone else has mentioned, why does any government device need to have Tik Tok on it, other than a very few that might be monitoring Tik Tok for security breaches? Our tax dollars don’t need to pay employees to be on Tik Tok in any capacity.
Of course tiktok should be banned from gov’t devices, but so should all social media apps.
He just keeps repeating the same line over and over, BAN THEM!
The professional PR guy smoothly brushes away issues with ” the security concerns are overblown…” Ban the app just because that guy is a snug, arrogant, slimeball!!!
“Earn trust”? YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!
He can’t guarantee anything it’s not his company
That guy is closed minded or has some unusual motives. Fact, china could force tiktok to feed them any info they want.
This is a perfect example of how authoritarian control of media operates. And it is a classic example of Chinese company CEO disinformation and obfuscation.
Bro looks like he had 3 redbulls and half an eightball to get up there and shill.
Well, I’m impressed with this interview. Real questions!
The Chinese government has complete access to thr source code being run by tiktok servers as well as any hot patches completed. This notion that a paper pusher in New York branch of tiktok has any capacity whatsoever to understand what the CCP has access to seems farfetched at best.
I am a democrat and this guy is lying. Did he tell you that Tik Tok parent company is one of the major companies in China? Also, while Tik Tok itself is not operational in China, the parent company has a china-version of the app in China. In fact, Tik Tk is based on that app. Can a branch company refuse it’s parent company the access to data? Probably not. Can Tik Tok parent company refuse the CCP acces to one of their subsidy companies? Probably not.
Government devices have always banned a lot of apps for protection reasons.
@ 6:00 thats exactly how we interpreted it. Dudes afraid to lose his job if he acknowledges any of the humanity crimes.
