I'll refer you a video by Ryan McBeth. He gives some great insight on why the US is considering a ban.
This feels like a soft landing for Infowars.
He advertised a no-name VPN, do you trust that product with your traffic? The he goes on to cite a movie as a source. And then another one...
Dude I can't even finish watching this.
I'm not saying he's wrong, he's just not credible. You can read citations from primary sources from politicians in actual news articles that are ... shockingly ... less hairbrained and more concise than this guy.
Private Internet Access is not a no-name VPN. What are you on about?
He works in the cyber security field... But whatever... I did my part and tried to inform.. can't help ya if ya dense.
Can you provide a tldr of the video?
I learned a trick to send videos to AI to summarize but it can't do this video because there's no captions.
The title of the video is pretty clear "TikTok is a Cyberweapon".
Reasonable people can disagree over wether or not that's actually true... but it's worth noting China has banned TikTok within their own country. Clearly they think it's harmful.
It's also worth noting that congress was acting on an intelligence report which has not been published. I've heard there are rumours they might declassify the report and release it. Personally I'm inclined to reserve judgement until we actually know what evidence they have but the fact China has banned it themselves is a huge red flag.
China’s full of red flags these days
It's the same thing, it's just called Douyin instead.

I didn't dig deep, but I got curious after seeing your comment: https://brandmentions.com/wiki/Is_TikTok_Banned_in_China
