Virtually any popular social media platform is an intelligence threat "in theory." Personally, I think TikTok has very little redeeming value for viewers or creators and I think its extreme focus on fostering addictive usage preys on some users to their detriment.

However, I also also think trying to shut it down based speculative claims of being an intelligence threat are a bad idea and would set a terrible precedent.
