Please read the article. Is it possible tiktok can/is being used for nefarious purposes? Yes. Is this specific argument, which will set a precedent to be used in future court cases, the way to go about banning the platform? No.

I am seeing a lot of "Good riddance, tiktok bad cause brainrot." on other tiktok ban posts, so I'll put this here:

This article from 2024 gives a pretty good rundown as to why using this reasoning to ban Tiktok will set a very bad precedent:

If the govt cared about your data privacy, they would create data collection regulations that they could then use to ban tiktok if/when they violate them.
