The last congress tried to ban TikTok, someone here posted a giant effortpost that explained the red scare propaganda reasoning, complete with a bunch of Chinese history and a focus on Deng. And then the instructions to install the app without using the App Store were at the bottom. Real leftist meme territory.

It's the same as with the Great Firewall, just much more weakly enforced. Block off enough people to get them to move to competitors that don't have ties to the Chinese government.
