Why did the US people freak out about the balloon more than tiktok?

Because the TikTok investigation and debate has been going steady for a couple of years. It's not as triggering now. But this balloon thing is new and sudden. So by nature our attention switched to the balloon. As soon as everyone calms down, they will go back to the TikTok problem.

because they don't understand the part about all the user data going back to China for the CCP use
