So like... does the US actually have any proof that TikTok is a "national security threat?"

Seems to me it's only guilty of the same data scraping for marketing purposes that Meta is... maybe even less so as I always found TikToks advertising less gross than Instagrams.

Both suck but TikTok is slightly less suck.

Is it really a security thing or is it a "We are getting pressure from US companies to remove competition" thing?
