I don't use TikTok, and the US ban on the platform doesn't affect me in any material way.
With that said, I'm of two minds about the ban. On the one hand, I don't like the idea that the government can just ban a social media platform, even though it's for a good reason (TikTok is malware and is used by the Chinese government to surveil, influence, and control information seen by Western populations as well as their own citizens, this is a fact). If the government can do it for a good reason, they can do it for a bad reason, and the precedent is a bit too ominous for my taste, especially considering the incoming Nazi leadership.
On the other hand, fuck TikTok. One less misinformation-filled brain-rotting proprietary social media platform is a good thing.
