There is no currently no actual evidence that TikTok is a threat to national security, but consider this:

  1. TikTok is owned by Chinese company
  2. All large Chinese companies are required to have Party members in the board, making them defacto state-run
  3. PR China is currently committing genocide, large-scale espionage, subversion of foreign countries and all sorts of fun stuff associated with authoritarian fascist dictatorships

have you seen what videos are posted there? Fucking social media like this, reddit, twitter, instagram and facebook is a huge issue for everyone 😅

we definitely would be better off without them

Those 3 points sound like a reason to be a threat to national secuirry for any nation that's not golfing buddies with China.
