Twitter suspended me three months ago for posting public information about free speech champion Elon Musk. I couldn't access my account unless I deleted the tweet, which I'm now reposting so you can see it was just ... a fact. And an Elon tweet. So, sorry, I'm back.

Here are lots of videos about the pro-democracy Tiananmen Square protests on TikTok that @cathymcmorris incorrectly just suggested don't exist:

Members of Congress seem surprised by the fact that China has said it would resist the sale of TikTok. We've known that for three years; the government added the algorithm to an export-ban list when Trump tried to force a sale last time

TikTok might downplay its ownership by a China-based company because members of Congress keep saying it's a secret Chinese spying machine owned by the Chinese Communist Party with zero evidence.

ByteDance's chief executive Liang Rubo is not a member of the Chinese Communist Party. Members of Congress have said that, wrongly, then not allowed TikTok's chief to respond.

Congressional Republicans are speaking quite enviously of the kinds of aggressive, suppressive social media content moderation techniques imposed by the Chinese government.

TikTok's response to worries over China's national security law is, effectively, trust us. Executives have said they don't believe U.S. data is subject to the law, since it's stored in the U.S., but companies in China have little recourse to fight back wapo.st/3SJIz59

Finally, a question about ByteDance team that pulled IP addresses and other data on journalists @ebakerwhite and @CristinaCriddle while trying to hunt down their sources.
Chew: "I don't think that spying is the right way to describe it."

Chew has said the data gathering of journalists was “very disturbing" and that the employees had been fired: wapo.st/3BTFE48
Hugely corrosive for their attempts to overcome D.C. trust deficit. DOJ & FBI are investigating, as @Forbes first reported bit.ly/3ngYCgV

Our 2019 story on the 17-year-old whose TikTok was briefly locked after posting a Uyghur video: wapo.st/33kivUE.
Her TikTok account has 164,000 followers and lots of videos pointing to the terrible treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang: tiktok.com/@ferozaaziz

Congressional hearings would be much better if Committee rules prohibited loaded questions. Not all questions can be answered with yes/no answers.
Rep Tonko: Will you commit to no longer using data about user's health/mental health to target and sell ads? Yes or no.
TikTok CEO: We don't do that.
Rep Tonko: So the answer is no, you will not longer use data about users' health.

Thank goodness for social media, which allows me, a private citizen, to express my frustration with our Congressmembers in real time, so that reporters and fellow citizens and Congressional staff can get pushback.
"In China, the CCP proactively prohibits this kind of content."
Well, we could certainly adopt Chinese government practices of inculcating the proper citizenship values... #TikTok

Gathering massive amounts of user data to target advertisements. Sharing data inside a family of companies. Remaining vulnerable to government data requests.
Many of Congress’s sticking points about TikTok also apply to social apps such as Instagram and YouTube.

I have deep concerns about TikTok and China (used to live in Hong Kong) but I am also deeply concerned about Congress ignoring the First Amendment because this just feels like an extreme case.
There’s enough here on data security grounds to not have to sacrifice 1A.
Congress needs to stay laser-focused on the data security issues with TikTok and not hand a Chinese company a rock-solid First Amendment defense.

Yes, the Chinese govt can block a cross-border divestiture.
The U.S. govt can do so too -- doesn't mean the U.S. government runs those companies. #TikTok

Congressman Latta attributed the death of a 10-year-old girl to the "Blackout Challenge" on TikTok.
The "Blackout Challenge" (or the "choking game") has been around for years before TikTok. 82 children in the US died playing the "choking game" between 1995 and 2007.

Latta keeps demanding "yes or no" answers, yelling at Chew for trying to elaborate on literally anything.
This is just an opportunity for committee members to get clips of themselves ranting about communists and Section 230

On a day when Congress is laser-focused on the theoretical potential for China to access Americans' data via hypothetical secret TikTok backdoors, worth noting the US has no comprehensive federal privacy law protecting Americans' data in the first place. washingtonpost.com/technolog…

Rep. Pallone hands TikTok a softball question by asking Shou Chew to commit to not selling data about its users.
You'd think lawmakers learned about the Facebook hearing with Zuckerberg. TikTok doesn't sell data -- it's all advertising.
