TikTok Ban

[WV-FAN]

Somebody explain to me like I'm 4 years old why the government wants to ban TikTok. I don't get it. Supposed to be a national threat. How? It is nothing but entertainment.

My theory is that a lot of people have made a lot of money off of the platform and the government, both sides, doesn't like that. It has nothing to do with it being a "national security threat", but more of a threat to the governments full intention of keeping little man down.

Someone tell me why I'm wrong and why a band music and do a fact.

Three reasons, take your pick of which one is the main reason but there is some split among those who voted to ban it.

1) It is a legit national security threat. The app collects data on your phone that it is not supposed to and China has direct access to that.

2) It spooked a lot of senators and representatives when pro-Gaza sentiment took over on there. It also spooked them when it ran pop ups telling people to call their rep about the TikTok ban.

3) Meta and Musk want to kick TikTok out so they can capture some of its users.

Finally, a sensible post, not filled with BUT TRUMP rhetoric.
