And what is the evidence for it being a Chinese spying platform? Is it owned by a Chinese company? Is there any hard evidence? Why is it so controversial?

What if I think Facebook and Twitter should be shit canned too?
They all suck, yeah. I think banning individual social media services is not the solution. The solution is to create meaningful laws that hold any company, Chinese or American, accountable for data privacy and misinformation/election interference violations.
Funny you say that, because Chinese apps like tiktok can’t ever be compliant with GDPR, and American ones are fully reliant on an executive order where Biden pinky swore to not use the Cloud Act against GDPR.
That wouldn’t solve the problem because the Chinese government is not bound by US law in China.
They are while doing business in the USA
Yes, which doesn’t solve the problem because the problem is in China. The Chinese government can demand any information that ByteDance possesses. Under Chinese law, they are bound to comply and bound to deny that they were even asked under threat of extremely harsh punishment.
It does solve the problem at least as far as then you’d have legal standing to ban til too, and equally anything else that doesn’t follow the law
Are you the US government cherry picking privacy concerns to eliminate competitors?
