> TikTok needs to be banned.

It won't achieve anything. The issue is not about China/Russia/America or mobile apps it's about media and media control.

Even your comment is filled with a negative narrative - Western Democracies VS our enemies ( China, Russia, etc ... ).

Is it bad for a union to have multiple relationships or multiple vectors of development?

> it is creating mayhem in the systems we have grown to trust

I don't see it, but if something can cause a mayhem in the systems this means that these systems are flawed?
