If sowing discord means posting pictures of food and just generally being nice to one another, I'm not sure the status quo being disturbed is worth protecting.

Oh no it turns out that Chinese people are friendly and normal this will surely be the downfall of the West.

Election Interference so blatant that the EU started formal proceedings.

Multiple studies, including a very recent one by Rutgers and NCR, showing it's a pro CCP propaganda vehicle.

It lied about collecting precise user data.

It lied about whether that data was accessible to ByteDance and it lied about not using that data to track people.

The problem with TT isn't it's content, the "food pictures and people being nice to each other" you referenced, its with how TT uses its algorithm to influence its users and the risk of them misusing the data their app collects.
