Well, it does if you think that TikTok is a national security threat.

> If you genuinely believe that TikTok should not be available to anyone

This statement of yours just means that you can't argue against the actual point, and instead have to make up a new one to attack, instead of the actual stated position.

The actual stated position is that we put regulations on businesses all the time.

And it is better to do that, than enforcement on individuals.

The reasons why it is better to do completely standard, and normal business regulations, is because if enforcement was on individuals instead, it would have to involve draconian things like checking everyone's phones all the time.

Nah. There is no need to do that. App store regulations are perfectly fine instead, and there is no need to defend some absurd position, that nobody is arguing, like that everyone's phones should be investigated by the government.

And this is no different than when California puts laws on pork businesses.
