And if the U.S. does ban TikTok then it sets a precedent that other countries can ban U.S. and Chinese social media apps in the same manner. Europe for example.

That precedent has always existed. The US banning TikTok changed nothing from a legal standpoint.

What stopped other countries from doing just that before?
