China is masterful at social engineering. Their government owns the platform. Undermining the US by making a toxic cesspool for the plebs of America to waste away in is a great way to undermine America. Since it's a foreign enemy it's a unique case.
Some similar arguments for getting rid of American social media sites too yes, but those aren't foreign or enemy owned so they need to be dealt with by some other mechanism, and I can't think of one that would preserve the good parts of the internet.
This is a good post. You have to be blind if you don't understand that China is in part using TikTok as a tool to influence the world (of course it is also to make money too like most things). There is a reason that Tiktok in China is different than TikTok in the rest of the world.
That said, social media companies in America are also insidious and they are causing massive problems with the population too.
