I don't use TikTok for privacy and security reasons, and I don't recommend anyone else do so either. That said, Trump has no authority to tell private citizens what apps or sites they can use on their personal devices, and anyone cheering for this kind of censorship should give some serious thought to how that sort of control could be used to suppress other sources of information.

If he thinks hes not going to be reelected, theres nothing stopping him ordering his troops to march into the ISPs and force them to block it. The only place that can stop him is the Supreme Court or Impeachment, and by the time a case gets heard its too late, and will be a different presidents mess to clean up.

Well if they have a solid proof that US safety is compromised due to tiktok app, I'd say it's smart to ban it here, at least temporarily? Huawei for example is long gone from American soil. But it might be fear mongering too, we dont have an evidence.
