Do you have the full text of the notification that you could post here? Kinda hard discussing the specifics otherwise.

If it really contains the quote "Congress is planning a total ban of TikTok", I do consider that misleading.

People here are often making a lot of noise about disinformation campaigns on sites like Facebook and Twitter and YouTube (and that's just from user-posted content that the sites fail to moderate, not posted by the sites themselves), so I don't see why this would get a pass.
