This tiktok ban has nothing to do with generic concerns about social media, such as privacy (which I emphatically agree with, FWIW.) It's entirely to do with Tiktok being controlled by a foreign adversary. Facebook has gross privacy issues (and should be regulated) but it's owned and controlled by an American so whatever other concerns we have about it, this tiktok ban isn't remotely intended to cover a company like Facebook.
