英語演講：周受資舌戰(zhàn)群儒

I am Shou Chew and I'm from Singapore that's where  I was born as for my parents. And after serving in Singapore's military, I moved to the UK to attend college and then here to the US to attend Business School.I actually met my wife here. By the way, she was just born a few miles away from here in Virginia. 

我叫周受資，我來自新加坡。那是我出生的地方，也是我父母的故鄉(xiāng)。在新加坡服完兵役后，我前往英國上大學，然后又來到美國讀商學院。我就是在這里，遇到了我的妻子。順便說一下，她就出生在距離這里幾英里的弗吉尼亞州。

Two years ago, I became the CEO of TikTok. Today, we have more than a billion monthly active users around the world, including over 150 million in the United States. Our app is a place where people can be creative and curious, and we're close to 5 million American businesses. Mostly small businesses, go to find new customers and to fuel their growth. 

兩年前，我成為了TikTok的CEO。如今，我們擁有全球超過10億月活躍用戶，其中美國用戶超過1.5億。我們的應用程序是一個讓人們可以發(fā)揮創(chuàng)造力和好奇心的地方，同時我們也與近500萬家美國企業(yè)保持著密切的聯(lián)系。其中大部分是小企業(yè)，他們利用我們的平臺去尋找新客戶并推動業(yè)務增長。

Now, as TikTok has grown, we've tried to learn the lessons of companies that have come before us, especially when it comes to the safety of teenagers. While the vast majority of people on TikTok are over 18, and one of our fastest-growing demographics are people over 35. We spent a lot of time adopting measures to protect teenagers. Many of those measures are first for the social media industry. 

隨著TikTok的發(fā)展，我們一直試圖吸取先前公司所獲取的經(jīng)驗，尤其是在涉及“青少年安全”方面。雖然在TikTok上絕大多數(shù)用戶都已經(jīng)年滿18歲，而我們增長最快的人群之一，是35歲以上的人群。但是，我們?nèi)詴ㄙM大量時間，采取措施來保護青少年的安全。其中許多措施是社交媒體行業(yè)中的首創(chuàng)。

We forbid, direct messaging for people under 16, and we have a 16-minute watch time by default for those under 18. We have a suite of family pairing tools so that parents can participate in their teens' experience and make the choices that are right for their family.

比如，我們禁止16歲以下的用戶直接使用私信功能，并默認為18歲以下的用戶設(shè)置了16分鐘的觀看時間限制。我們提供了一套家庭配對工具，以便家長可以參與到青少年的使用體驗中，并為家庭做出正確的選擇。

We want TikTok to be a place where teenagers can come to learn which is why we recently launched a feed that exclusively features educational videos about STEM. STEM videos already have over 116 billion views on TikTok and I think TikTok is inspiring a new generation to discover a passion for Math and Science.

我們希望TikTok成為一個青少年學習的地方，這就是為什么我們最近推出了一個專門展示STEM科學學科的教育視頻的頻道。在TikTok上，STEM學科的視頻已經(jīng)獲得了超過1160億的播放量，我認為TikTok正在激發(fā)新一代人對數(shù)學和科學的熱情和興趣。

And I would also like to talk about national security concerns that you have raised that we take very, very seriously. Let me start by addressing a few misconceptions about ByteDance of which we are a subsidiary.

接下來，我也想談談你們提出的對于國家安全的擔憂，我們對此非常非常重視。首先，讓我解釋一些關(guān)于我們的母公司字節(jié)跳動幾個錯誤的概念。

Still, we have heard important concerns about the potential for unwanted foreign access to U.S data and potential manipulation of The TikTok U.S ecosystem.Our approach has never been to dismiss or trivialize any of these concerns. We have addressed them with real action. 

即便如此，我們?nèi)詴牭揭恍┲卮蟮念檻]，擔心存在潛在的關(guān)于外國可能未經(jīng)授權(quán)地訪問美國數(shù)據(jù)，以及潛在的操縱TikTok美國生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的重要問題。我們的方法，從未對這些問題不予理會或置若罔聞。我們已經(jīng)采取了實際行動來設(shè)法解決這些問題。

Now trust is about actions we take. We have to earn their trust with decisions we make for our company and our products. The potential security, privacy, content manipulation concerns raised about TikTok are really not unique to us, the same issues to apply to other companies.

現(xiàn)在，信任的關(guān)鍵取決于我們采取的行動。我們必須通過我們?yōu)楣竞彤a(chǎn)品做出的決策來贏得信任。關(guān)于TikTok可能存在的安全、隱私和內(nèi)容操縱的顧慮，實際上并不是我們獨有的，同樣的問題也適用于其他公司。

We believe what's needed are clear, transparent rules that apply broadly to all tech companies. Ownership is not at the core of addressing these concerns. Now, as I conclude there are more than 150 million Americans who love our platform and we know we have a responsibility to protect them which is why I'm making the following commitments to you and to all our users. 

我們認為當前亟需的是，制定一套廣泛適用于所有科技公司的清晰、透明的規(guī)則來解決這些問題。一家公司的所有權(quán)并不是解決這些顧慮的核心。現(xiàn)在，我總結(jié)一下，有超過1.5億美國人熱愛我們的平臺，我們很清楚我們有責任保護他們，這就是為什么我向您和所有我們的用戶做出以下承諾的原因。

Number one, we will keep safety particularly for teenagers as a top priority for us. Number two, we will firewall protected U.S data from unwanted foreign access. Number three, TikTok will remain a place for free expression and will not be manipulated by any government. And fourth, we will be transparent and we will give access to third party independent monitors to remain accountable for our commitments. I'll be grateful for any feedback that you have and I look forward to your questions. Thank you very much.

第一，我們將把安全，尤其是青少年的安全，作為我們的首要任務。第二，我們將用防火墻保護美國的數(shù)據(jù)，防止外部非授權(quán)訪問。第三，TikTok將繼續(xù)是自由言論表達的場所，不會被任何政府操縱。第四，我們將保持透明，并提供給第三方獨立監(jiān)督機構(gòu)的訪問權(quán)限，以確保我們履行承諾。如果您有任何反饋，我們將不勝感激，我也很期待您的提問，非常感謝大家。
