You know the reason why they're considering banning TikTok?
Do you think it's to protect the people? Do you think it's because Social media is Toxic af? Well guess what...it's none of those things.
It's only because China passed laws saying that companies that operated there had to be owned by the Chinese. America just did a big fat "Nuh uh, you!" - that's all.
Your comment is just misinformation. The US government asked Tik Tok to sever it's ties to its parent company and they refused. This is also not anything new as other countries and government bodies including India, Australia, Canada, the UK, parts of the European Union, and New Zealand have banned the app from official devices due to security reasons.
This isn't a "America bad REEEEE" kind of moment.
Also it's literally what they already did to grindr and the sky didn't fall then either lol
