I think the issue is that TiKtok is just as bad as all the other social media and they are owned by a foreign adversary.
Foreign adversaries (ie China, Russia and America) use social media for influence campaigns on each other and therefore their social media platforms can’t be trusted. This is why Chinese people similarly can’t use Google or Facebook

But China is not part of 14 eyes. So for citizens it is better that China has it than their own government.
Good job, this is exactly the understanding and framing that the Council on Foreign Relations wants you to have 💯
I’m out of the loop what’s the council for and why would they want people to think that? What’s in it for them?
Russia does that without (US-)foreign social media. Same difference.
