We need to ban TikTok because they might be spying on you.

Solution: a bill that allows us to spy on you unconditionally for all activities, anywhere, anytime for any reason.

Also, we will be immune to FOIA or any kind of oversight.

If we don't spy on you, we won't be sure they aren't spying on you?!
Who TF cares if they're spying on us. The real issue is that our biggest foreign adversary has push-button access to influence the minds of our kids. If TikTok were Russia-owned, we would have banned it already.
A bill to ban specific apps is stupid. Should have banned advertisers to trade with specific companies instead.
The government kinda already spys on you anywhere,anytime for any reason
