Published February 2, 2024 6:55pm ET



Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is facing criticism over his questioning during a hearing with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew earlier this week.

Cotton asked Chew several times whether he had any personal relationship with China. Chew was voluntarily present at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to address children’s safety on his platform. Other social media CEOs were there, including Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, X’s Linda Yaccarino, Snap’s Evan Spiegel, and Discord’s Jason Citron.
