    It's about controlling the narrative. A broad group of US citizens use TikTok to discuss social inequality, class warfare, and other topics that would give people, individually and collectively, more power and US billionaires have no say in it.

  That was the implication that the DOJ lawyer proposed. But privacy was not the actual security issue that made this law. The security issue that made this law was the US could not stop the media narrative propagated by an adversary. The bin laden letter got popular on TikTok as well before it was taken down. And lawmakers feared this was the start.
