https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/17/tech/tiktok-user-data-oracle/index.html Definitely, definitely correct. A company that's owned by a foreign nation shouldn't be a problem. And if you think that this doesn't set a precedent for banning anything politicians don't like, then I feel sorry for your naivety.

There's no national security basis to ban social media from the US or a friendly country. It would be protected by the first amendment otherwise. They have actual evidence that China was using TikTok as electronic warfare, which is the only reason they can ban it.

I'm baffled by your blind faith in politicians. There's been clear foreign influence on just about every major social media platform.

It's odd you seem to have more faith in China than in the US. Personally, while my trust in my country is low, it is infinitely higher than my trust in China.
