That was too ambiguous on my part - to clarify, I meant TikTok has exactly the same potential for risk.

TikTok isn’t doing anything that Facebook and Twitter are doing, or may do in future.

If there’s a technical security risk that we should be worried about, then I am equally worried about every single other non-Chinese company exploiting it.

If this were nation-agnostic, generic data protection laws, no one would bat an eyelid. Couching in terms of hand-wavy national security is just so implausible and blatantly self serving.
