I remember some years ago I saw the same rhetoric on Meta's (Facebook) services in Russia.
Meta ended getting restricted in Russia and branded as "extremist" due to some ugly story with moderation rules and hate-speach.
All this is generally considered as a backwards decision and is criticized both in Russia and in the West.
I wonder when will we see the same for TikTok in the US and how would it be implemented. AFAIK, Trump had threatened to ban TikTok during his last presidency, but how would it be implemented practically? It seems that previously the US had only restricted internet by undelegating/seizing domains, but that would be scandalous for an international corporation.
Nationalization maybe? It seems that had already "partly" happened with that Trump incident - TikTok had to restructure a bit and let a few American investors in, strings attached.
In any case, this situation is a boon for America's competitors, as it is a yet another demonstration of America's integrity failing.
