Critical Analysis of TikTok Ownership for National Security
The argument against banning TikTok revolves around the belief that banning it could lead to a dangerous precedent of eliminating things one does not like. However, the main concern is the national security risk posed by a Chinese-based company having a deep integration with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It is highlighted that any company in China of significant size inherently has close ties with the CCP, which raises concerns over TikTok's ownership. The analogy is drawn that allowing a Chinese company with CCP ties to own a major media property in the US is akin to the Soviets owning NBC, a scenario that should be prohibited. The suggestion is made that an American company should own at least 51% of TikTok to mitigate national security risks, while the current Chinese company could remain a minority shareholder with 49% ownership.
