There is no currently no actual evidence that TikTok is a threat to national security, but consider this:

  1. TikTok is owned by Chinese company
  2. All large Chinese companies are required to have Party members in the board, making them defacto state-run
  3. PR China is currently committing genocide, large-scale espionage, subversion of foreign countries and all sorts of fun stuff associated with authoritarian fascist dictatorships

we definitely would be better off without them

Those 3 points sound like a reason to be a threat to national secuirry for any nation that's not golfing buddies with China.
