You remember the whole Snowden thing where all the US social media companies have NSA backdoors? Guess which government has backdoors into TikTok.
In other words, it's less a user privacy issue and more a national security issue.

...because the US government having a backdoor into Facebook isn't a national security issue?
Because that isn't remotely the case. A backdoor exists for everyone, or it doesn't exist.
Let's say TikTok becomes a fully-fledged US company.
Is that actually something under the US government's control? I mean...will the US government actually do anything substantive to reign in the privacy violations of an American company?
Yeah, right...
