to drop the app because it's sending data to China. Now TikTok had assured us it's not going to do that, but apparently it's confirmed that some of the data was available in China. And I think at this point if we were fooled about what data is going back to China and TikTok was involved in fooling us, you have to take it out of the app store.

Now I don't know if these two things are true, so let me say these are allegations. The allegation would be that people were concerned that China, the government, would have access to all this private information in TikTok. And TikTok said to the world and to us, no, don't worry, because we moved our data into, I think, Oracle or something so China doesn't have access to it. But it turns out that was incorrect, and apparently it's been verified, that's the allegation, that that data was available to China.

Now under those circumstances, can you let that company remain in business? I don't think so. What does your business and managerial leadership instinct tell you? If a company lied to you about something that basic: does the Chinese government have our private information? No, no, no, no, no. Chinese government? Heck no. There's no way the Chinese government is going to get any of this information. It did? Oh well, yeah, I got a little of it. And when I say a little of it, they got a lot of it. But you know, next time we'll fix it. Well, can you fix it for sure next time? Because you said last time that they couldn't get it and then they did. But why would we trust you the second time? Why would we? Have we ever lied to you? Yeah, you literally just lied, allegedly. You literally just allegedly lied to us. You said they didn't get it and then we proved that they did. Why would you act differently the second time, given that the Chinese government probably really wants that information? Why would we trust you that when you say it's not going there? And the answer is you can't. And they proved that you can't trust them by lying about that very exact thing.

You don't even have to say they're liars in general so we worry that they would lie about this specific thing. You don't even have to do that because you could say they just lied on this very specific thing. Why in the world would you trust them to not lie again on that very specific thing, which is the most important thing probably, which is exposure to the data in China?

So Trump and his administration wanted to get rid of this, and their instinct was to get rid of it now and fast and just do it. But they were stymied by whatever forces. So here we are. So if you signed up on TikTok, good luck. China knows a lot about your preferences.

I'm seeing a comment that my only contact with the immigrant community is when they mow my lawn and clean my house. Not true, right? So I don't think you listened to anything I just said. If you live here you're steeped in it. It's just everywhere. It's everywhere you go. It's in the personal life. It's in the schools. It's every business you go to.
