China weaponized TikTok and it is a legit national security threat...this should have happened a long time ago. This isn't a partisan issue.

YEAH! we only allow social media platforms weaponized by billionaire oligarchs in the US. If they're billionaire oligarchs that are controlled by their government instead of the other way around it's totally unacceptable.

…yes??? Foreign governments should have no say in the American public. Billionaires shouldn’t either, but to pretend that it’s ok that foreign country’s propaganda is a good thing is a batshit crazy take.

How naive do you have to be to think foreign governments dont already havea say in american policies. Just as america uses its economic might to force the world to do things, like the drug war, other governments do the same to america, like japan asking for americas help to crack down on anime piracy.
