collecting vast amount of data ? facebook does that too and instagram and google and who knows what else

Yes, we should ban all those, too. Or just enforce EU style privacy laws in America.

The US government doesn't want an adversary government to have the data of its citizens (because of varios reasons, including mass manipulation for example). They would of course have no issue with having that data themselves though (also because then they would be more in control over how the data is handled).

Whats being questioned isnt why the us gov and the corpos that own it would want to ban tiktok that much is self evident, the question is why any one would give a fuck let alone bother to celebrate it.
