I find it hard to reconcile framing TikTok as a national security issue when it's by far the least politicized app in the social media space, probably due to the short form video medium and moderation and the focus on entertainment.
Also somewhat funny given that Twitter, the most influential social/poliitcal platform is now owned by a guy who praises China directly and is being favorably quoted on Russian state television, with the Saudis becoming the second largest investor. I'd be slightly more concerned about that one.
