      They can ban anything anyway - that there is an actually democracy in any real free sense is a joke - plus, if they wanted to ban people, places, things, they can. It is up to the ppl to vote them out, we need to vote all these clowns out each election, no incumbent should get another term. That is a solution to start with. Rheir club is too powerful but in this case. TIKTOK needs to go.
      TikTok has a long history of tracking its users' online behavior without their consent, and in 2021 it started automatically gathering biometric data. Further, according to The Ruck, in 2022 “an independent researcher found code allowing TikTok to log keystrokes.”Nov 2, 2022

    Also on my visit to China the Chinese TikTok had a lot of constructive content about science, math, engineering, art and not to mention promotion of business on it which was rewarded, compared to western TikTok version where a lot of stuff was just opinions, people talking about their relationships failing, random dance videos etc and even with quality content about business promotion were shown they were shown very less compared to their random counterparts.

      So A) India banned it for political reasons just like the US is about to do even if we're pretending otherwise.
      B) The CCP has an extreme amount of control over everything, especially online. More control means less freedom. This is their attempt to forcibly mold the citizens (including kids) into the people they want. Guess what? People will go elsewhere for fun content. They're not going to spend hours watching math or science. (There are ways to get around the Great Firewall of China.) Who wants to watch that after spending all day at school? And there is content on TikTok with those things. It's there if you *want* it. That's the great thing about TikTok is that it gives you what you want rather than force feeding you what an oppressive government thinks you need to have. You want vids on engineering? Go for it. There are plenty.

    Okay I feel like if you’re going to get rid of that, get rid of all social media. Or allow social media:tiktok to only be use an hour out of a day. People have to get back to reality. People have more anxiety than ever now.
