I have no horses in the race but if you justify a Tiktok ban in the US because of a foreign influence, you also do justify a Facebook ban in the EU on the same arguments.

Thus why Facebook is blocked in China, but not in the EU, since we have a much less adversarial relationship with them.

I'm not sure how long it will last with Zukerberg and Musk openly threatening the EU.
