I'm not too concerned about that part of the damage. The big threat is that China can tell TikTok to promote particular views and political thought to American users. If TikTok is banned, that threat goes away. Sure, they've already gathered data to use in running influence campaigns on other platforms, but the US-run platforms at least try here and there to stamp out bot accounts and state-run account rings. (Well, I assume Musk is ok with them on Twitter now.)
