I feel tiktok is primarily an entertainment platform, though it could just be how the algorithm treats me. I don't see it as a very political platform, but obviously politicians do. However Cortez, Paul, Ramaswamy, Gabbard, (RF) Kennedy and Trump have all come out against the Ban. With Trump it's a flip flop, as he previously supported a ban. I think TikTok is a good idea. It assigns videos to you based on your tastes instead of having a giant list of followers. I don't like the idea of banning it and Biden already lost my vote due to foreign policy but he's further losing it (I'll probably vote third party). In summary I'm against the ban. I don't think it's a serious national security threat either. If ideas are right they prove themselves by debate, but ad hominem attacks about who the ideas come from aren't helpful.
