I don't know enough to know if the concerns over Tik Tok are legitimate but since the company is Chinese owned I'm sure there are legitimate concerns. With that being said lots of younger people love Tik Tok (my daughter would probably cry if it was banned) and I wouldn't want to be the politician that takes Tik Tok away. Vast majority of Voters aren't going to understand the national security implications or care to be honest. All they're going to care about is Tik Tok got taken away by the president who let our country get destroyed by a virus.
