It is absolutely a partisan issue because that’s why Republicans brought it up in the first place. The CCP gathering metadata on users has no bearing on our ability to beat them at sea, which is the only sphere of influence that matters with Chinese aggression.
Should US military bases ban TikTok? Sure. Should the government block the app on all government phones, also sure. Banning social media wholesale is a disgusting precedent to set, and is fundamentally anti-American.

Unless you can prove TikTok is spyware and not just gathering user data per already accepted guidelines then you have no leg to stand on here.

Not a problem for me or any other sane person
As for the CCP bylaws, I’m all for the Chinese overthrowing their hell-gov and instituting liberal democracy but until they do, it’s a non-factor.

Lmao well if they’re trying to feed me propaganda they’re fucking up because all I’m seeing is standup comedians, thicc goth girls, and Taylor swift clips, along with some of the best old-school-youtube content still on the internet.
Are you even on TikTok?
Edit: also China won’t invade Taiwan because the Chinese armed forces are as embarrassing as the Russian armed forces.

Yes I’m OK with them having into from TikTok because they are not a real threat.
