Now I expect a bunch of downvotes with no real reply, but is there any proof at all that TikTok poses a security risk?

The US can't just make up accusations without bringing tangible proof.

There is lots, if you care to read it google is your friend.

Small warning though it is fairly technical so if you don't know much about software it might not make any sense.

In 2020 the U.S. military banned TikTok. There’s your best security breaching proof you need.

According to militarytimes.com, it was only banned on government devices. Troops on military installations can still use it on personal devices.

Not as much as people make it out to be. The app is really just a chromium browser that loads the TikTok website. It's really not doing anything that other social platforms aren't. The biggest concern is data collection potentially going to China, but keep in mind the US version operates under a US company, ByteDance, on well-known Oracle servers.
