    Where do I begin:

    1. China has more-or-less direct control over the app, and China is an enemy of the US
    2. extensive tracking
    3. it’s designed specifically to be addictive instead of beneficial

    Other SM apps do 2 and 3, but that doesn’t mean TikTok is okay, it means those other apps are also terrible.
