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.

It’s probably a national security issue for China, but they already banned Facebook.
