I agree about tighter restrictions on social media in general, but this is specifically about tiktok sending personal, material data back to China, a clearly hostile government that has been and is currently committing cyber attacks and espionage against the US and its citizens consistently.
Tiktok, despite its claims, has been proved to be sending that data to China multiple times since claiming that it has no connection to the Chinese government.
It isn’t the same as banning Instagram.
Banning tiktok in countries under attack from China makes sense when it’s been proven that tiktok is sending personal, identifying data to China.
