For the same reason Grindr was forced to sell to a non-Chinese parent, the risks of putting some apps / information in the hands of strategic competitors is too high. If a domestic company tried to blackmail people with their sexual history, they face domestic legal accountability. China does not.

Why should it be? What does ByteDance want that isn't also valuable to Facebook?

		The destabilization of the United States and the end of it's status as the worlds richest and most powerful country?

		Facebook is a company owned by public shareholders. ByteDance is an arm of the Chinese Communist Party. What facebook and ByteDance want at their core are very different things.

Is it more dangerous? Facebook has done more harm to the average American than the Chinese Communist Party has.

More dangerous to the US government? Yes, that's true.
