You're not aware that Biden signed the ban already?

I am, but again, what about it? Now that I've pointed out your original fallacy, your continued attempt to stick to TikTok's impending ban as the focus of our conversation might just constitute a red herring. It was never pertinent to the point regarding TikTok being sued for privacy violations that you were originally trying to make, which is what I was addressing.
Tiktok is being targeted at a harsher clip than American companies and thats a fallacy somehow?
A straw man won't be of much use to you, either. I didn't have 'Bingo' on the list of things I expected to do today.
Mockery aside, I hope you'll come to reflect on my critique and improve your argument-waging skills. Given how it was handled up front, I don't expect anything constructive to result from deeper engagement.
