There is no currently no actual evidence that TikTok is a threat to national security, but consider this:

  1. TikTok is owned by Chinese company
  2. All large Chinese companies are required to have Party members in the board, making them defacto state-run
  3. PR China is currently committing genocide, large-scale espionage, subversion of foreign countries and all sorts of fun stuff associated with authoritarian fascist dictatorships

we definitely would be better off without them

Still not as bad as American social media.

Those 3 points sound like a reason to be a threat to national secuirry for any nation that's not golfing buddies with China.
