Is that guy supposed to be TikTok's CEO? As far as I can tell the CEO's name is Shou Zi Chew and he's from Singapore.

Added: youtube blurb says the guy in the video is Adam Presser, CEO of TikTok US joint venture.

This is an extremely one-sided editorialized title for this interview. Of all the online communities I have participated in, TikTok has BY FAR the most openly antisemitic comment sections. On basically any video that references Jews, there are almost always many disgusting comments (that get tons of likes) saying things like "F the <juice box emoji>" "mustache man was right" "disgusting people" as well as classic antisemitic tropes about Jews being money-obsessed or inbred. It is very disturbing, and I'm glad that TikTok is finally waking up to this issue and banning those users. I try to report those comments when I see them, but there are just too many, and most of the time the moderators don't find any violation despite them being extremely blatant. And no, before you say this, I'm not talking about comments criticizing Israel. I'm talking about straight up Nazi-level Jew hate, usually translated to algospeak (e.g. juice box emoji instead of Jews) to evade filters. However, a very common trend I see is for people to call any Jew a baby killer even when the video has nothing to do with Israel and the person's political views are not at all known. I know you want to portray this as a secret cabal of Jews pulling the strings to control the media, but that is not the reality of the situation.
