The problem isn't the actual app. The problem is that it makes the Facebook and Google ToS look like childsplay when it comes to gathering information from your phone. It gathers information from everything you do on your phone not just data from the app. The issue is that while it does all that stuff the information on that app tends to subvert mainstream media. Now narratives are harder to control but the other side of the coin is China controlling our public's viewpoint. It sucks but this bill is definitely the "safer" decision only because it's preventing China from gathering free information with unfettered access. Freedom isn't safe but I hate China so it's feels weird as long as this was the true intention not some power grab.

Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Amazon apps all collect data from you. I'm assuming as much if not more than Tiktok. This is a slippery slope that screams to protect the children when in reality it is about the USA govn control of what data is available to digest.
