What evidence has Congress presented that Tiktok is a National Security threat?
Didn't Congress try to shut down Tiktok before but it failed?

From the article:
"But none of these bills ever made it to a vote, and many have stalled entirely as lawmakers turned their attention to the boom in artificial intelligence.
...In a preliminary injunction blocking the ban [Referring to state of Montan's ban on Tiktok], US district judge Donald Molloy said the law “oversteps state power and infringes on the constitutional rights of users”."
But things started to change after the Gaza War happened and the body count of Palestinians began to rise; young people who watch videos on Tiktok began to call for a cease-fire etc, etc. Congress members became re-enthused about the ban.
