The thing is evidence came out 4-5 years ago that CCP directed TikTok to steer engagement algorithms to further PRC foreign policy goals which tldr meant inflame US users via purposely divisive content served up via TK. You are wrong, and linked articles from US intel community have been available for years.

Did it? Why didn’t they bring it up in the hearings? They were pretty empty handed and trying to rage people apps have access to wifi. Maybe you mean something like this “study” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tiktok-data-suggests-algorithms-align-with-ccp-objectives-according-to-alarming-new-study/ar-AA1mqf1n https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tiktok-data-suggests-al... which concludes with “kinda maybe looks like they could possibly favor Chinese interest”. Doing a study and putting out a headline is all it takes to poison the public opinion and exactly what I would expect from the social media companies foaming at the mouth losing market share. The wording I have seen is congress had a internal meeting about the potential security concerns that could be involved (very likely with every app).

  It did. And goes back to 2019 and earlier. Very easy example to find: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/12/30/army-follows-pentagon-guidance-bans-chinese-owned-tiktok-app.html https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/12/30/army-follows-... One of many, hence not linking. Every TikTok fan is demanding proof that was provided several years ago and they ignored.
