Putting aside questions of whether TikTok deserves this or not, I really worry this is the beginning of the end of general purpose computing.

("We need a comprehensive, risk-based approach that proactively tackles sources of potentially dangerous technology before they gain a foothold in America, so we aren’t playing Whac-A-Mole and scrambling to catch up once they’re already ubiquitous.")
