But Russia was using a platform that they don't control for all of these.

Meanwhile we have a member of the inner circle of the US President-elect using the social network that he owns to explicitly attempt to depose the leader of the UK, to support violent extremists, and to support far right parties across Europe. TikTok never did any of that.

The argument that an adversary should not have access to radio waves is definitely sound reasoning to me should the UK or the EU ever decide to ban Twitter/X.

I would fully support the EU banning X! Even though unlike TikTok it has not yet decided elections in the EU, it's clear that its owner is actively trying to do so.

Not sure why you think I wouldn't be in favor of it. With TikTok it's even more clearcut though as it has already happened beyond reasonable doubt.
