Don't be melodramatic. You sacrifice your liberty for the sake of security all the time, and it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
> You need to educate your fellow citizens or pressure appstore owners (google and apple) to delist tiktok.
This is an unconvincing solution because of the subversive nature of the power of TikTok. We already see that people brush this off as "not my problem. I don't care if China has my data".
You don't have to trust domestic parties to agree that there is a legitimate security threat from Chinese controlled TikTok which must be addressed.
> If you claim this is just and lawful, apply it equally to all other foreign and domestic apps that can be abused similar to tiktok both by domestic and foreign forces.
This is ostensibly the point of the "clean network". Whether or not that particular solution is adequate or even appropriate remains to be seen, but it certainly seems aimed at exactly that problem.
