No. Banning TikTok at most suggests that the current US administration no longer believes in a global internet.

That administration might be out of office as soon as January 2021.

Ya, let's not lump in all of the US as anti-global-internet with the orange man in the oval office's mission vs China.

The US should continue to be part of the global group of countries with the idea of an open internet vs copying China's great firewall practice.

I realize this is hard externally with Trump and perhaps internally with Pai but they do not represent the majority

Data protection and privacy is far more important than a global internet. And you need a country with a strong and independent judiciary and press in order for that to happen. China has neither.

And people who think this is exclusive a Trump, right-wing position are seriously misguided. It's bi-partisan and will definitely continue under a Biden presidency as well.
