They actually distrust academics and logic in general. Also researchers, research data, ... can't comprehend so just call it a big conspiracy theory. Remember the early days of covid in US?

Too much thinking and burden of proof / evidence is too tough and confuses them . They go for simple explanation like what trump tells them, it's all perfectly understood by them, thus more believable.

I wonder do Americans feel shameful to have such senator? The level of stupidity is totally amazing. Either they don't care what was going on, didn't get a chance to listen or read such news, or totally ignorance, I would be too shy to travel out of America and acknowledge I have such leaders in our country.

They don't care. Simple.

Of course, it is their rights. But the also don't have the right to impose on others to share their same rubbish. That they have yet to learn.

The land of the free probably have a bad door to the servers sitting with Oracle in the US by now. If TT's logarithms is manipulating / promoting materials that threatened US national security, it would have been shut down by now but FBI/ CSIA / Homeland Security couldn't find an ounce of evidence since it started its investigation years ago.

Child protection and negative impact of such social media.  Those applies to Meta, FB and Google as well and I don't think all these congressmen and senators care anyway.

So besides politics, my guess it is partly money.  Who are funding US politicians to take out / slowdown a strong competitor that is eating up their advertising dollars?

Why SG no rebuttal?

It seems that minorities have different "protection" in USA. African-american, latino and native american - black and brown - are "untouchable" when it comes to racist statements made against them or any stereotyping that links back to their skin colour or ethnicity.

But somehow asians, especially east asians, seems not to have the same "protection". Maybe because being a model minority or a successful minority makes them seen as ineligible for any sort of "handicap" from white society.

Here you have a white redneck hurling all kinds of wild allegations, obviously insinuating that Chew's ethnicity makes him a suspect, never mind his actual nationality...... and this is deemed acceptable? Trying this kind of trick on black or brown ethnicity will get the senator "cancelled" in the press and having to apologize.

I think given trend that many tech companies are headed by ethnic south asians, maybe tik tok should source for the next CEO from that region - there is no shortage of talent there and it'll save tik tok a lot of trouble!  Waiting to see if any senator will be ridiculous enough to allege that an Indian CEO is applying for PRC citizenship or is a secret member of CCP.

Expand  

Indian ceo?

Tiktok is much more than just mere commercial entity. All Chinese social media company is controlled at highest level. 

Cannot la... China will rather get even a Taiwanese ceo than an Indian one... actually getting a Taiwanese ceo may do them good 🤔

But yeah,  anecdotal evidence suggest Indian get some black privilege,  many said to put "black" to get into university under affirmative action. 

 

[Vratenza]

If they are so afraid of Chinese spying and influence.... Just learn from China lor... Build the Great IT Wall of USA and keep every "suspicious app" out. 

I think is easier for them to give up their guns comparatively.... 😁
