## What Jamie wrote

I have a very long list of things that I despise about TikTok. The threat that it poses from foreign ownership, in my opinion, is real. The algorithmic and behavioral approach that TikTok uses could be easily directed towards a variety of objectives, none of which would be readily discerned without all the data behind the scenes. Could that be weaponized? Very much so.
