I'd add..., home-grown (US) big tech - aka, Google for instance, sees the threat of such a powerful search algorithm in Tiktok has in drawing youth away from its run-of-the-mill (inferior) search engine, and hence is all too pleased to have seen its lobbying of Congress to push for the banning. Just like 5G and Huawei... Tiktok will suffer the same fate. Instead of out-innovating the competition, ban them.
