One does not need to be a sock puppet to believe that the justification for this ban is shaky at best.

Every social media network does basically the same thing as Tiktok and the government has produced no compelling evidence for the ban. They just keep saying “the evidence is classified but trust us”

Totally agree.

But dismissing TikTok as merely a “dance video app”, even as a semi-joke, is disingenuous.

To mock American patriotism on top of that, despite there being plenty to mock, doesn’t really make the post seem like it’s focused on compelling rhetoric.
