It's worth noting that the 'Tiktok ban' is not content/speech related. China requires that businesses share their industry records with the government, including user information. It's a national security issue if the Chinese government can effectively setup surveillance by leveraging any/all devices that have Tiktok loaded on them. We banned it on FedGov phones years ago because of this.
It's 'restricting the internet' for you in the same way that a PRT bus breaking down restricts your ability to get to work; I bet you find a way to go about your day.
It's not dissimilar to being allowed to fly an airplane, but not over DC airspace. Or being allowed to buy a firearm, but not one that's fully automatic.

I thought banning tik tok was a GOP thing? I am pretty sure that was a Haley policy proposal.
It is awfully discouraging now how Biden really just wants to adopt all the center-right republican positions. I am about 99% convinced that this administration thinks that if they get more positive segments on Morning Joe and the Bullwark, they'll win the election.

Banning TikTok was a failed Trump Executive Order. Not sure how it got on his radar though, if that's what you meant.

I, for one, would not care one bit if TikTok were banned.

I need to learn more about it before I take a stance. But it looks to be the exact same thing as the Huawei phone ban which nobody seems to care about.

TikTok is banned on SC state government networks. Evidently, on Texas government networks as well as my son sent me a Tiktok last week while I was staying at a conference on UT-Austin's campus.

She'll just move to Instagram Reels, Ulfster.

I feel completely ambivalent, especially considering every other social media platform has the same short video format available.

I watch way more deaths and violent acts on Instagram compared to Tik Tok.

I'm only seen some morons break bones jumping off roofs on Instagram. I've never used TikTok.

My IG feed is filled with random 80's/90's nostalgia, people making fun of corporate bosses, metal music, and sports pretty much. The random idiot doing something dumb, but never deaths or really even any sort of violence.

My IG is basically fighter planes and things that jiggle. It's like I'm 14.

It's based on your search algorithm and your follows. So Morkle, you got some explaining to do.

The only jiggly things I actually search for and/or follow are food related accounts. But I you go to my Search menu.......... seriously, it's like I'm a 14 year-old who just figured this out.

Well consider yourself lucky. I see like 1-5 car crashes, and people getting hit by cars like multiple times a day. It's annoying, and I don't know what I did to get on that side.I scroll sort of a lot, and I have never seen deaths on IG, let alone, er, 'watch' them.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug. My wife calls me a weirdo because when I see something (whether I agree or not) I try to dig in a bit. I’ve found it’s become exhausting a lot of times.Very good video given the recent state of the union rebuttal:
My rules have evolved a bit though,
1. I don’t believe anything on its face from twitter, TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, etc. Even with that approach I’ve been duped before and will be duped again.
2. I do my best to follow the source vetting process anyone that went to college learned. Again, exhausting.
3. I always remind myself that viral things, videos, short videos, whatever on the internet are either trying to sell me something or trying to elicit an emotional response. (This is why I can’t stand Toktok or Reels or any of that stuff. The Tradwife things are just ick and are so good at making working moms feel like garbage.)
It really feels like everything we see these days is carefully curated to sell, bring out emotion, or is made of bots searching for karma.
