On top of the security concerns it's also not "fair trade" if US social media companies cannot operate in China while theirs are allowed to operate here. There are plenty of alternatives to TikTok now, banning them is a no brainer.

Yeah, I'm not ok for us to start our own version of The Great Firewall just because China does it.

China bans foreign news sites too. Should we ban news sites from all countries that's not U.S. allies?

The CCP way is making you do thing out of your own volition so that they can always be the nice guy, they never banned US companies, they just made them extremely uncomfortable to operate so they quit themselves.

Comparing the US and China is preposterous.

Instead of targeting the Tiktok, how about we target a proper policy. This baptist vs bootleggers law isn't going to help. This will just mean user will move to copycats like Instagram or Youtube.
