And what specifically is causing the security issue. Is it speech?
Privacy

That was the implication that the DOJ lawyer proposed. But privacy was not the actual security issue that made this law.
The security issue that made this law was the US could not stop the media narrative propagated by an adversary. The bin laden letter got popular on TikTok as well before it was taken down. And lawmakers feared this was the start.
