00:00We're looking at Tick Tock, we may be banning Tick Tock, we may be doing some other things.
00:30We are now evaluating each instance where we believe that U.S. citizens' data that they
00:40have on their phones or in their system or in their health care records, we want to make
00:45sure that the Chinese Communist Party doesn't have a way to easily access that.
01:08When it comes to safety and security, we're building the safest app because we know it's
01:12the right thing to do.
01:26Here's the deal.
01:27I don't mind if, whether it's Microsoft or somebody else, a big company, a secure company,
01:33very American company, buy it.
01:35So it'll close down on September 15th unless Microsoft or somebody else is able to buy
01:41Currently, Tick Tock is complying with the directives from the government, and we Indian
01:59creators have no access to the app, neither we can create videos nor we can look at other
02:04videos on Tick Tock.
02:34We don't have access to the platform, and we can't show our talent, so we were able to
02:41show it through Tick Tock.
02:44It's been almost a year and a half since I've been running Tick Tock, and I've worked
02:54very hard to increase my followers, and my followers have increased a lot.
03:00I'm very happy, but I'm also happy that our country is what it wants, and I'm not going
03:10against their decisions.
