Good. It pretty clearly is. It's not the only one by any stretch, but "a threat" is a low bar. Would a single one of you stand confidently by it being "no threat"?

Hell, facebook is a threat to national security, and it's an American company.

Facebook isn't a threat to national security according to the federal government, which is where the "American people" get this notion from in regards to TikTok.

How could Facebook, a site that regularly colaborates with the feds voluntarily, be a threat to the nation exactly?
