This it congress trying to silence pro-palestine protesters and biden mad that TikTok doesn’t like him.

it's definitely not just this, they're mad that one of the biggest social media companies isn't US based, and that they don't have full jurisdiction over them.

This is closer to the facts. The US government just doesn't want any other government having our info. They called dibs.

Another issue is the algorithm they use. China can literally control what we see.

and the problem with the algorithm is that the US doesn't have jurisdiction over it.

The problem with the data is that we don't have US jurisdiction over it (even though technically oracle hosts the US tiktok servers)

Idk man, seems like they're mad about not having jurisdiction over our data if you're asking me. They're fine having other countries data, just not other countries having our data.
