  Agreed. I do think something needs to be done about tik tok. China doesn't allow tik tok in their own country. China is able to collect data and meta data on US citizens. 
  This is a new world, one in which an opponent could use scientific understanding of psychology to exploit an adversary. China regulates their social media, and turns around to provide the west tik tok, why not weaken the cultural situation of your adversaries, why not foment hatred amongst groups. 
  I definitely don't trust the GOP or any member of the GOP but I feel the same about the CCP as well.

  But In this analogy the gun is being fired by the Chinese Govt. >

  TikTok, and unregulated social media in general, are major problems both psychologically and security wise, but throwing together War on Drugs word salad like this together doesn't help their case.
  I'm also hesitant when a member of the GOP has the right "overall" opinion about something since even when they want to take action on the right issues, it's typically in a horrendous manner and for awful reasonings.
