I think the US wanting to ban Tiktok is more of rejecting anything Eastern rather than because of it's negative effects. Though I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Even in China where Western social media platforms are purportedly banned, millions still access them using VPN. Of course countries use their social media platforms to collect data from rival countries as a kind of spying. We will see how it all goes.

Yeah, spying has been brought up as a reason to ban social media from the "other side". Officially, Western social media platforms are banned in China. I think those using VPNs to bypass the Great Firewall break the Chinese law, so they might get into trouble.
