The main concern is control over how Americans consume information.&lt;p&gt;See e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;networkcontagion.us&amp;#x2F;wp-content&amp;#x2F;uploads&amp;#x2F;A-Tik-Tok-ing-Timebomb_12.21.23.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;networkcontagion.us&amp;#x2F;wp-content&amp;#x2F;uploads&amp;#x2F;A-Tik-Tok-ing...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The conclusions of our research are clear: Whether content is promoted or muted onTikTok
appears to depend on whether it is aligned or opposed to the interests of the Chinese
Government. As the summary data graph below illustrates, the percentages of TikTok posts out
of Instagram posts are consistently range-bound for general political and pop-culture topics, but

China imposes ownership restrictions when our companies do business there. We should do the same.&lt;p&gt;ALSO please do outlaw private dragnet spying no matter which company is doing it, yes.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Tell Congress: Stop the TikTok Ban.
