Two things can be true
It can be nakedly hypocritical, this Kabuki theater of oh woe is me it's so difficult to do anything of substance to reign in these companies, it's just politically very tricky what with the free market and all-- oh it's Chinese and they don't give me money? Fuck 'em get 'em out of here, 50-0, fuckin ban it.
And at the same time Tiktok can also be legitimately a much more dangerous company than Facebook or Lehman Brothers or whatever, even as regular-criminal dangerous as those two and the rest of the bunch are.
