Democrats didn’t ban tiktok because of china, it is also piled on as a reason. They banned it because some donors got mad that their grandkids were hearing anti-israel stuff. Remember, Trump tried to ban it several years ago and then everyone forgot about it until the images started coming out of Gaza last year. When considered this way it is a grotesque 1st amendment violation, but they'll probably get away with.

A republican majority house voted for the ban, so I'm guessing their granddaughters were also hearing dangerous anti-israel stuff (there is no difference between Democrat and Republican on Israel).
And now Trump is against the ban
His mind is spinning all the time....he wanted to ban both Facebook and TikTok.
