I'm against a TikTok ban and here's why: if user-level data collection and fingerprinting are wrong, ban that. If algorithms to show certain things for certain people are wrong, then ban that too. If a company being owned by a foreign entity who is a "frenemy" at the eyes of the military, then sure, ban it. If US social networks are banned in country X, then ban X's social networks in the US. Again, that's Ok. But those are rules made for any company in any place, not just TikTok. Just banning TikTok now seems more like making some convenient excuses for doing what some folks already wanted to do anyway as soon as TikTok started getting their cookies and slices of ad revenue and media relevancy.
