TikTok isn't doing anything that any other major social media company isn't also doing. The only difference being that TikTok is owned by a Chinese company, and not a US one.
Just banning one app does little to resolve the overall privacy and information nightmare that social media is.
The US government has always cared more about national security than the privacy of its citizens.
This is nothing to do with national security.
Oh? You have a source that other social media websites suppress certain stories?
lmao. seriously?

lol seriously? They found 1000 posts that got deleted? That’s a rounding error on the number of posts they delete every second. That’s like comparing an ant to a gorilla. The data is nowhere close to the TikTok stuff
