It's literally the exact same thing being done to a different app. It's not a wild comparison.

The apps themselves are wildly different. You think it's a coincidence that this got forced through right before elections? Our gov doesn't like that they can't control the narrative there. They also really don't like how upset tiktok makes the US corporations that fill their pockets. How is that comparable? Unless you think the ban is for security like they're claiming, which is laughable, because it's so obviously not.
