It's not a ban on TikTok; they are proposing a restriction that will be applied to American companies in order to try and block American's access to an online web service.

I do not agree with such restrictions nor would I if the role was reversed; in my opinion, any politician that supports such an encroachment on our rights will never have my support or vote. I would additionally be open to boycotting their corporate and wealthy donors since they seem to only listen to money.

I do however, wholeheartedly support enacting legislation to protect our data, require security around it and to block the sale of it.
