Good. The ban is censorship dressed up as national security.
TikTok is state sponsored spyware dressed up as fUnNy ViDeOs
And if someone chooses to watch that, that's their business. Not nanny government's. Not saying I do. But none of us have any business telling someone else what they can and cannot watch. That's part of living in a supposedly "free" country. We aren't China. You want a "great firewall", then move there.
In our zeal to shun everything China-related, we must not become them.
The really secret is that the government is jealous of China
