WASHINGTON – On May 9, 2023, U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (IL-09), a Chief Deputy Whip and Ranking Member on the Innovation, Data, and Commerce Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee, released the following statement after reviewing TikTok’s responses to the Energy and Commerce Committee’s Questions for the Record:
“Just like Mark Zuckerburg, Sundar Pichai, and Jack Dorsey before him, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew’s testimony and responses to questions for the record shows that he is as adept at obfuscating Congressional oversight as his peers. Further, everything we heard at the hearing reinforced what we already knew - industry-wide privacy issues arising from the vast collection, use, sharing, and monetization of personal data by social media platforms and other technology companies are a threat to Americans. This further demonstrates a need for a comprehensive national consumer data privacy framework to create meaningful limits on collection, use, and sale of Americans’ data.”
