00:00We might be saying goodbye, Tick Tock.
00:10We're looking at Tick Tock, we may be banning Tick Tock, we may be doing some
00:14other things.
00:30We are now evaluating each instance where we believe that U.S. citizens data
00:42that they have on their phones or in their system or in their health care
00:45records, we want to make sure that the Chinese Communist Party doesn't have a
00:48way to easily access that.
01:00When it comes to safety and security, we're building the safest app because we
01:13know it's the right thing to do.
01:15Here's the deal. I don't mind if, whether it's Microsoft or somebody else, a big
01:32company, a secure company, very American company, buy it. So it'll close down on
01:38September 15th unless Microsoft or somebody else is able to buy it and work
01:44out a deal, an appropriate deal.
01:56Currently, Tick Tock is complying with the directives from the government and we
02:00Indian creators have no access to the app.
02:02Neither we can create videos nor we can look at other videos on Tick Tock.
02:14Twenty people have died. So people are a little angry. So we want to help the Chinese
02:21app.
02:22There are a lot of people in our village who don't get a platform to show their talent.
02:43So they're able to show their talent on Tick Tock.
02:46It's been almost a year and a half since I've been using Tick Tock and I've worked
02:56very hard to increase my followers.
02:59My followers have increased a lot.
03:03I'm very happy that my country is doing what it wants and I won't go against
03:09the government's decision.
03:32Thank you very much.
