Both the Economist and the WSJ state explicitly that the main reason the TikTok ban picked up so much bipartisan steam in DC since Oct. 7 was because of how much Israel criticism was allowed to air and circulate on the platform (see below).
But really! It’s all about China!
@benshapiro
The House has voted to separate TikTok from its Chinese Communist Party ownership. It’s nice to see a bit of bipartisan sanity once in awhile.
Direct link to video (should work for a bit): https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1768310919887536135/vid/avc1/1280x720/4zWnNyjVkmz0yRc9.mp4?tag=14

Additionial information by Glenn:
Highly doubtful since this was threatened and became a political issue FAR before Oct 7th.
