I personally don't like Tiktok, but mostly in the same sense that I don't like rockabilly music or well-done steaks: I just find it tacky. It's very sketchy in terms of data collection, but so is every other for-profit social media site or app of note.
As @mmasnick pointed out, if the CCP wanted American citizen's data, there's a ton of other places they could get it besides TikTok. It's all performative nonsense.
I wonder if there's a chance this could raise constitutional issues.
It seems like there are enough people with expertise/authority who regard #TikTok as a potential security risk that a WiFi block would be allowed as a form of security management.
A reasonable operator might block it the same as they'd block a website known to spread viruses.
Whether it's a good idea or not, I'm not judging. I'm only saying it seems likely legally permissible.
