> TikTok is controllable by the CCP

It's extremely ironic that the Trump administration (& their supporters) justify their control over US people and companies, preventing them engaging in normal everyday activities with Chinese partners, by saying "[X] is controllable by the CCP". Even whilst there is no evidence of the latter actually happening.

This is not even "pot meet kettle", this is the pot calling a fridge a kettle.

It's literally plain language of the law, including a minimim of CCP membership in the company.

Further the CCP has already done the same to Western companies across the board. Let's not forget not only the atrocities committed against Uigher people, but the censorship of those atrocities.
