TBH privacy isn't the concern for me... I think the US can just write off their digital lives as being a tradable commodity at this point. That should be addressed, but TikTok is like a drop in the bucket, and Congress isnt going to do anything about it for many reasons. The concern is influence. There's nothing to stop the Chinese govt from manipulating the recommendation algo, and that goes way beyond simply deprioritizing Tiananmen Square and such. They could skew elections, amplify issues, changes perceptions on the aggregate...
