US lawmakers are set to grill TikTok’s chief executive in a wide-ranging hearing that could not come at a more consequential moment for the embattled social media platform
US lawmakers are set to grill TikTok’s chief executive on Thursday, in a wide-ranging hearing that could not come at a more consequential moment for the embattled social media platform. TikTok CEO Shou Chew will face the House Energy and Commerce Committee during his first appearance before Congress, in a hearing that kicks off at 10 a.m. ET.
Chew’s willingness to answer questions before Congress, TikTok’s lack of transparency, repeated obfuscations, and misstatements of fact have severely undermined the credibility of any statements by TikTok employees, including Mr. Chew,” Sen. Mark R. Warner, chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said in a statement Wednesday. As scrutiny from lawmakers’ mounts, however, so does the app’s popularity and reach in the United States.
