    Wow I just looked at the video of the exchange and am shocked. There is little pretense of trustworthiness and cooperation here from this TikTok executive: https://youtu.be/8zJ2aWglimU https://youtu.be/8zJ2aWglimU

  > Beckerman also testified that TikTok's U.S. user data is stored in the United States, with backups in Singapore. Why are backups in Singapore? Never heard of US companies doing that.

    The US companies also store data in Europe with "backup" in US.
