And already, close observers have seen a change of tactic from the Singaporean.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok\u2019s boss, who has had a range of senior positions in the world of finance, generally sports a suit jacket and tie.<\/p>\n<p>But on Tuesday, he posted a TikTok with a very different look.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of a suit, he was wearing a white T-shirt and hoodie \u2013 the uniform of the nonchalant tech founder.<\/p>\n<p>The 40-year-old was suddenly speaking like a teenager too \u2013 talking of being \u201csuper excited\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he\u2019s trying to give off a sort of the casual tech bro,\u201d said Caitlin Chin from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a bipartisan think tank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s actually been starting to gain a bit more of a public profile, especially leading up to this hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Singaporean has generally kept a low profile since taking over at TikTok in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>However, that approach appears to have changed. TikTok is fighting for its life, and Mr Chew knows it.<\/p>\n<p>The big problem TikTok has in the US and Europe is that it is owned by a Chinese company, ByteDance.<\/p>\n<p>And in China, there are specific laws that require companies to hand over information to the Chinese Communist Party if requested.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok holds reams of data about its users, including location information and biometric data.<\/p>\n<p>For years TikTok has argued that it would never hand over user information.<\/p>\n<p>It has spent tens of millions of dollars on lobbying efforts and strategies to appease governments.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of its attempt to convince US lawmakers is \u201cProject Texas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This is the company\u2019s commitment to store US data in the US \u2013 on servers run by a US company \u2013 Oracle.<\/p>\n<p>The company says so far it has spent $1.5bn on this project \u2013 and describes it as a \u201cfirewall\u201d that protects data from foreign governments.<\/p>\n<p>TikTok had hoped it would satisfy politicians on all sides.<\/p>\n<p>Last year Mr Chew wrote to politicians saying he believed the project would \u201csafeguard user data and US national security interests\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But sadly for TikTok, Project Texas has been looked at sceptically by both Republicans and Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>For many US politicians, for as long as TikTok has a Chinese owner, it will be considered suspicious.<\/p>\n<p>Last month FBI director Christopher Wray didn\u2019t mince his words about the platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a tool that is ultimately within the control of the Chinese Government. And to me, it screams out with national security concerns,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For most US lawmakers, TikTok would be a far more palatable platform if it were not owned by a Chinese company.<\/p>\n<p>Last week it was reported by the Wall Street Journal that the Biden administration had requested the company be sold for this reason.<\/p>\n<p>This is not what ByteDance wants. TikTok has enormous potential. And besides, the Chinese company doesn\u2019t wish to sell its greatest asset simply because US politicians want them to.<\/p>\n<p>This is the backdrop to Thursday\u2019s congressional hearing.<\/p>\n<p>We already have a fair idea of what Mr Chew is going to say from TikTok briefings.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll argue that 150 million American users will lose out if the platform is banned \u2013 and that thousands of small businesses rely on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll push back on the idea that ByteDance is Chinese-owned \u2013 saying the company has many international investors.<\/p>\n<p>And he\u2019ll also argue that Chinese laws cannot compel ByteDance to share American data \u2013 because TikTok is a US-based company, with its data stored in the US.<\/p>\n<p>But often these hearings make headlines for one or perhaps two specific exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s famous Senate hearing in 2018 is often remembered for one brilliant question from Senator Richard Durbin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr Zuckerberg, would you be comfortable sharing with us which hotel you stayed in last night?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Facebook boss looked visibly uncomfortable before saying \u201cno\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that might be what this is all about&#8230;your right to privacy,\u201d the senator said.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s these curveball questions that Shou Zi Chew should fear most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
