TikTok is a threat to national security, the amount of data they take from people is insane. We have youtube shorts, facebook reels, instagram whatevers, and had Vine - there's no reason we can't move elsewhere. Saying that I work for a defense contractor so can't install TikTok contractually anyway (:

Yes TikTok is a National Security issue. The issue with TikTok v all the social media companies you named is one thing.

The US government cannot censor or control TikTok the same way they censor and control US based social media companies. The US alphabet boiz have all access and muscle to get the data these social media companies have one way or another.
