While I agree with your points around Congress’s overall ignorance and the unconstitutionality of the ban, I disagree that it’s a product of unfounded hysteria. As mentioned in my article, this hyperbolic narrative is perpetuated by the fact no evidence is cited tying TikTok and China to U.S. national security risks. Had that been part of the congressional record and made clear to Americans, it would make the constitutionality argument stronger and the public perception more definitive as well.
