We need to ban TikTok because they might be spying on you.
Solution: a bill that allows us to spy on you unconditionally for all activities, anywhere, anytime for any reason.
Also, we will be immune to FOIA or any kind of oversight.
More like dominance of the US surveillance apparatus. If it were truly about national security, the government already has the power. There were no bills passed to ban Russian companies.
Consider the massive data breaches, such as China's OPM hack, which exposed information on US operatives; Anthem's health insurance breach; and Equifax's credit report breach. These incidents provided ample data on operatives' dependents and spouses. Coupled with TikTok's potential for real-time location monitoring, this information could enable tracking of US operatives' proxies, like their children or partners, in real time. By combining a database of Americans with background clearances, health and credit report data, and TikTok's location tracking capabilities, a dangerous and powerful surveillance tool emerges.
