In response to the ban, which was given on cybersecurity grounds, TikTok Chief Executive Kevin Mayer said Chinese authorities had never requested the data of their Indian users, and even if they had, the company wouldn’t comply.
Yeah, I believe you.
China never request the users data but the database keep sharing with ccp? 🤣
May not have requested it, just stole it.
Yes, of course. China had never requested the data from Tiktok, because Tiktok own it = China own it. Tiktok just to hand out the data to its boss.
Do you think that a thief makes a request before he steals your money？
It is a funny and unrealistic statement.
Never Trusted Chinese Communist Party’s Regime, Their State Owned Enterprise, Their people, Their Business, Their CEOs, ......
Thanks for the joke, Kevin
When ccp has direct access to every piece of data, why bother to request🤔
So why do all anti Chinese videos disappear from tiktok ?
Why Tiktok app is not present in China ? TikTok is not present in China, still any anti-CCP content gets automatically removed from TikTok... how?
That's not how 'this' thing works
So lives of 20 dead indian soldiers = Tiktak What about 40 dead indian soldiers = Kit kat TikTok_IN
News like this makes users question they reliability. Not a good scandal to be swimming in.
‘Course, if i were new i wouldnt be responsible for whatever data leaking prior to my incumbent.
Then why TikTok won’t allow any video or message about Free HK?
It only means this CEO does not even know how CCP get everyone’s info. Or, this CEO is lying.
Why Chinese people are deprived of TicTok/ Twitter/ YT?
Now China has given u the duty to convince us..😂😂😂
Never trust china
Lolz
And Kevin Mayer wants the world to believe him. Cute!
That would be pretty impressive considering their founder and original team is located in Beijing.
Tiktok, just one more arm of the godless Chinese Communist Party.
This is a shameful lie. As a Chinese company, BytedanceTalk is required by CCP law to actively support spying, including handing over any requested data on Indian users. The data will be handed over by KevinMayer or his successor (ask Rupert Hogg).
We indians don't want tiktok anymore..we have our own apps..BanTikTokInIndia BoycottChina
The CEO doesn't realise that even his data is being shared throughout China behind his back🥱...bold words...yet tiktok representative for india said that they stored the data of indians in Singapore but not really used it...hmmm two contradicting statements😶😶🥱🥱.
By it China didn’t comply with the Hong Kong mandates
No way. How know TikTok will stop to spying people. CCP have too much Spy in Chinese company.
When the Chinese govt has made it mandatory for Internet companies in China to share data with them, how does the new CEO plan on defying them and yet stay in China. Go home and sleep, kid -new ceo, you're drunk.
Sorry pal. They don't have to ask you they just hack in behind your back. Wake up!
Liar!!! Does he think the world is dumb?
Nothing from ccp can be trusted
What a joke.
Actually this is not the first time chiefs at Ccp-controlled businesses defend it this way. They always use the word “request”. “We are not requested to...” yea I know that’s how it works everywhere else but we are talking about ccp. Spare us the crap.
No, you wouldn’t receive a request. They go in physically or through backdoor to check on a few things. Nothing concerns you, really.
USA made China into a financially & militarily powerful evil monster by massive outsourcing of goods by US firms who also provided technology. China is now committing aggression by occupying territory of neighbouring countries. USA is obligated to cut it down to its original size
Lololol
A liar never admits lying.
Lol right and we are supposed to believe it! Sell this fugazi to someone with half a brain.. maybe sell it to yourself.
Ban Tik Tok in America....tool of Communist China
True... Osama Bin Laden never did 9/11 you now. And even if he was a terrorist, he woudn't have done 9/11.
Fake news at it again.
He wouldn’t comply?! That’s funny
Of course China wouldn't ask, they don't have to, TikTok give it out to CCP willingly
LOL
What does a new CEO know? Nothing
Just deny deny deny like China does, it’s deleted on my phone too
Yes it is. And for spreading violence.
Riiggghhhttt...
China doesn't allowed foreign tech companies on their network because the companies won't give the data. As a Chinese company Tiktok can't resist that if the government wants the data.

lch1540 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣hard to believe that since tiktok owns by china
So cute
Yup, I believe you. No doubts at all. Chinese companies are well known for their independance and reliability.
F yourselves & TikTok Maybe the US can send it’s manufacturing jobs over to China for cheaply made products for better profit margins while China bans all US websites & disregards all WTO agreements! Data ? 😆
Yes he is right. They have never requested. It's in their law
LMAO... 'request'.
Dump China
So money is paid to the media to white wash CCP crimes
Meaning of his statement. Tit Tok: China had never requested for information it took it by force.
Joke of the day. Loss of the year.
Requesting Americans to Boycott Chinese products...
Right, as if we were born yesterday...
China never request for data, they spy and steal without even asking for your permission. Either tell BYTE DANCE & all Chinese entities to withdraw investment from your company & be a 100% Non-Chinese company or else NO ENTRY IN INDIA!!
Tik Tok wouldnt comply with CCP diktats ? Who are u fooling ?
Isn’t him just a puppet?
😂🤣😂🤣 tiktok_us, Kevin Mayer and evening bigger 😂🤣😂🤣 for trying to be the Tik Tok messenger.
Hackers and Crackers know... you’re so bummed if you downloaded this on your phone. Find a microwave and start over. Sounds awful but you’ll find out
ya right !
Bs
..I've never actually used mobile phone apps due to ...various reasons.. ..I keep hoping that every mobile app will have a desktop website.. better and more useful sometimes than apps
TikTok_IN If that is so then viral this pic on tiktok
Ohh come on...it’s like saying China never asked Huawei of users and even if China did, Huawei would refuse to do so😂
I wonder what kind of person will take this TikTok's theory.
KevinMayer China doesn’t need to ask or request. It has plumbing done as a backdoor in the very software. It is a leak built in..that you better not know. It is going seamlessly to them.
Afraid now!
I have 5 bridge sell
globaltimesnews says banning Chinese products in India by Indian will hurt India they why Chinese Govt and Chinese Companies and putting so much efforts to write positive about Chinese Products. We dont need China and Chinese products anymore.
This new American CEO is hired only to serve as an native eng speaking facade for vowing not connect to China like this or attending congress listening. Don’t think he has much say w/in the company or even let to know real operation.
Never trust communists
And the world is so gullible to believe Kevin Mayer.... 😂😂😂😂 Huawei had office in Bangalore India, they had a rule that didn't allow Indian Employees to enter a floor from where China was running Clandestine work. Never Trust Chinese.
Hmm...it seems WSJ got this week’s payment 💰 from CCP 🇨🇳
Lolx...ask tiktok to say they r not bound to chinese law which say any company will have to provide data if asked by CCP
Even if it had -- what u want affter that?
Oh really 🤣😂
Thanks for sharing. Been reading much on both sides. But Apple had raised alarms.
Amd you expect us to believe Go fly a kite !!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Strange na by law you r obliged to provide to CCP.
Never request as the data already sent to CCP......
How much payment you took?
When did CCP start “requesting” as you say?
So why doesn't China have the same app ? If China can block Facebook Twitter why can't India block ?
Obviously everyone trusts China .
Sold out US media . If ' 1st world ' 🇺🇸 media can be sold out , ndtv has an excuse 😜
tiktok_us kevinmeyer should just shut the fxuk up. Tiktok is simply untrustworthy and they carry out censorship for CCPChina
yashar Good joke lol. India was smart in banning TikTok. We need the rest of the world to follow and do the same. It is a parasitic app on a level or two above even Facebook and its shitty apps like Instagram and WhatsApp.
Good for INDIA 🇮🇳 👍
Honestly ban tiktok
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol China owns it, they need not ask.
So WSJ is new platform for Chinese Propaganda
Is China need to request tik tok ceo, i think they can take over this company even without informing CEO
Kevin meyer is full of beans... Similar to Huawei, the Chinese govt can access any data from tiktoc any day & any time. .. Kevin has yet to be indoctrinated into the Chinese system but will soon.. Ni Hao MA, Kevin?
There is no evidence tiktok stealing data.but there are evidences showin Apple did it and leak it. Why don't I see people boycott Apple?
Believe them! The chinese never lie , do they?🤔
Yeh rite. The Founder Zhang Yiming subscribes to President Xi's four consciousnesses diktat
If it comes from China then it is EVIL to it's very core. Nothing coming from the communist regime has a noble purpose.
What a joke!
Bullshit. I'm sure the US does well to allow TikTok. Or does it?
Go fly chinese kites
macrodesiac_ Any Chinese company, person, or property belongs to the communist party by law, comply or face treason charges. Tiktok should know better.
This is contradict to China‘s Internet law which require company to allow Chinese government to access all its user personal data. It is clearly this guy has no idea abot his company。He is just a puppet Chinese pay to lie to the world.
Even Kevin Mayer's own all data would be with Chinese.
That’s not exactly saying they didn’t collect it
Problem nobody buys the no CCP involvement as all entangled deep with the party BytedanceTalk
Not complying? Are you saying you are daring against ccp law?
Yeah, HSBC & Cathay Pacific, both multinational heavyweights, had to kneel down before 🇨🇳CCP, yet TikTok as a China company doesn't have to. Oh yeah, of course, that's right
And he is new to the company
Because they don’t need a permission to access data.
lmao keep lying
Yeah, sounds legit 👍
What about the rest of the countries?
Ironic. We are all numbers? When I’m priceless?
bullshit, no Chinese company can fight against the Chinese government
If the U.S. government is having trouble maintaining fairness on their on social media platforms, you think Chinese government controlled TikTok comply? Such a joke.
LinkedIn frequently accesses the clipboard. Is this stealing privacy?
I stand for TikTok this time
He’s a liar or ignorant. Or maybe both. tiktok, the CCP weapon to dumb down America.
It had never requested, the company never comply, because the data had been sent to CCP by default since day one.
It is time, Americans too take pride in our country and punish China. Sacrifice a little and believe in buy America and support American jobs even if it pinches your pocketbook a little bit.
yashar
Just playing devil’s advocate here: Modi is known to have close relationships with Facebook and the ban on Tiktok will definitely help Facebook
Comment is filled with right wing American and friends from South Asia.
Is it even possible for Bytedance to 'not comply' when their business has been supported and subsequently bolstered by the CCP? What a joke!
They don't ask. They take.
LOL. What else is he going to say?
Make up your own mind. Personally I'd delete it.
Suuuure
TikTok should also grow a moral compass by banning left and right wing extremists from posting discriminatory propaganda!
He would say that
Ban tiktok
of course ccp wont request for the data, but their hired thugs will
Bs
It seems just received fresh funding from CCP and Xitler to propogat goodie good for His Majesty Xi. ChinaVsWorld HongKong Taiwan TibetIsNotChina ChinaLiedPeopleDied Kungfluvirus. realDonaldTrump guess you should bring a bill that will put down such media house.
China doesn't ever 'request.'
It is my understanding based on law passed last year that companies in China would have to comply.
yeah right! im sure china will just say 'oh ok, sorry for asking'
Except it's the law in communist China that they must. He's new though so he probably doesn't know the lay of the land.
Ok keep it with US we have banned it ...no use in publishing this news
HHahahahahahhahaahahahahhahaha
It feels like Modi Ji strikes the hammer at pin pointed mark. It hurt the China and it's ambition. We are feeling the heat and clearly Modi Ji going to hit China severely hard in his next steps. Hint : Hwawei and ZTE
Yeah, he’s new right. Give him 3mths. I worked in a Beijing...
Lol
Request the information, CCP will just take it. BAN TikTok now.
Indians no longer trust CCP TikTok_IN is just a scape goat
Does anyone actually believe this guy’s BS?
What a crock of bullsht.
Block tik tok around the world.... World learn through india.. India ban 59 chinese apps including Tiktok.. adult ruin our moral and indulge pornography ..girls tourchr , promote acid attack, attack girl, terrorist also use tik tok to fill new jihadi..
China's butler
yashar did india get it out of the app stores ? ouch that would hurt
Okay, we got it. /wink 😉
Apple disagrees:
Bullshit. They would do it if enough cash was offered. That’s all hi tech is interested in.
yashar Unsecured CDNs means they don't have to.
yashar They don't need to request the information.... they already have it.
Worse?
Yeah Kevin would know :)
He is repeating what was said. But you know when they say something, they do something completely different.
Which is exactly what they WOULD say if they were
He is very new to the company
good job India! Any pressure to stop the tragic and worsening Chinese gov't human rights abuses might help deter
Tiktok’s privacy policy explicitly permits transfer to the parent company in China for many countries. “Within Our Corporate Group We may share your information with a parent, subsidiary, or other affiliate of our corporate group.”
Oh Tiktok is independent of China? They will be arrested by HK security law And many 50 cents will shout Tiktok belongs to China
They’re trash
Its now a Global separation of China from rest of the world. They understood that well. Secondly, there was a Privacy breach which is well understood.
No Chinese company can say no to the CCP government when it demands access to their assets, physical or intangible. Tik tok is no exception
Why don't Indian have freedom to use an app? Dictator!
If they were Beijing's tool they'd say exactly that
Smart move! People do not need to get deeper into the web of drama, they can't even handle themselves and their cooties.
feel it
All Chinese businesses across the world are tools for Xi and Modi proves to be smarter hence shut his doors from invaders. You guys should stop lying as the world through covid 19 understands you people better now.
Emanuel
Dont trust tik tok
even the tik tok symbol look like a taliban gang sign
how about wall street journal shows one picture of a proud Canadian? instead of continuously segregating blacks from whites
if tik tok wants to distance itself from something then how about stop putting your name on masks? i mean it's just that easy...
The warfare begins digitally.
Who will believe anything from China? Who will believe anything said by Chinese? Only idiots!
TikTok and Zoom and Sensetime. Digital Wuhanvirus certified by CCP
🤣🤣no they're an independent social media, with Chinese characteristics
Whole world should ban these Chinese Communist surveillance apps
