My tongue gets stuck in my cheek frequently. I think it is a hereditary

Are we being satirical or do we believe this is true?

One does not build a bio-weapon without a way to counter it for your own
people.
Why do you think they locked their own folks completely in their homes?
Because they knew what the virus could do and needed to buy time while
they got the safer version out in the wild to inoculate people.

Banning WeChat is probably more consequential, it's used for real things,
not just silly dance videos. And of course we can expect China to
retaliate against US companies. This feels like Rockem Sockem Robots.

Tick Tock the crocodile seems like a much bigger threat. Known hand (and
clock) eater.
But yeah, the app stores location data, and the Chinese government could
get hold of it. Hold on there, that's OUR government's job. Good thing
other social media apps like Facebook don't store location data.
</sarcasm>
I saw a review of Reels, the competitor to TikTok that Facebook/Instagram
took 2 years to develop, on a tech site. The review basically said Reels
sucked in comparison, and that TikTok was a well designed app, well
targeted to what the user and creator community wanted. How dare they
succeed by designing something people like.
So you could say that US social media companies can't come up with a
better product, so ban the competition. But it's probably more accurate
to say it's an election year.

I don’t even really understand what the threat is.
I downloaded tiktok to see what all the fuss was about.
All I saw were folks in various states of disrobement dancing to music.
What national security issue is this?
