I do not believe government should ban TikTok. Government has no rights and shouldn't have the power. That would be censorship.
Yes, even if it comes down to one government banning another government's app.
I also don't believe anyone should have TikTok on their phone, or use TikTok. I've never used TikTok, so I freely admit I hate it out of ignorance.
However, from the outside looking in, TikTok is obviously harmful. It brainwashes the young and the weak-minded into beliefs that hurt them and, when used to influence politics, it hurts all of us. But censorship hurts us all, too.
All social media is harmful in the same way, to lesser or greater extents. Don't ban any of them.
I understand the arguments for banning it, I just don't agree.
