"concerned citizens are contacting their representatives to not ban tiktok. This is a clear indicator that they are addicted and being manipulated, so we must ban tiktok"

What prevents the intelligence apparatus from controlling tiktok content the same way they control ig/fb/twitter's content? It seems to me that they're very concerned with tiktok's ability to influence public opinion (ex: Gaza), which is part of why they want it banned.

This. It's always about controlling the eyeballs of the chattel; and right now, the State sees a need to corral the young. Because again, yankee genociders can't compete on their own merits. It's pure protectionism and propaganda control.
