TikTok Senate Hearing, Ted Cruz vs. Michael Beckerman
Senator Ted Cruz questioned TikTok's Head of Public Policy, Michael Beckerman, regarding the company's ties to its Chinese parent, ByteDance. Beckerman repeatedly refused to give "yes or no" answers about whether TikTok shares data with Chinese affiliates or if it is subject to Chinese propaganda influence. Cruz accused the executive of dodging questions more than any witness in his nine-year Senate tenure.
