You might not care about the security of information the Chinese government can harvest from you because you believe you "have nothing to hide," but at least consider how your complacency involuntarily affects the privacy of the people in your contact list, e.g., your parents, siblings, relatives, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, etc.

Yes, it is a scary thought process that they can access your information but TikTok has taught me more then school has taught me. Garrenteed most people think of it as a social media app of stupid things and unnecessary things but it is another form of intertainment and it can be learned for learning new and different things.

I think an adult should be able to do what they want, but I would always suggest it is done with the utmost critical discretion. I don't do TikTok, but if I did it would be very specific interest groups, like sports or wine, not politics or self esteem. And since I can get that many other places, I don't need TikTok and can safely avoid it's risks. Since youth are too easily influenced, they don't need to be brainwashed with stuff they have not mentally developed the ability to critically discern the difference between truth and poison (a twisted version of anything that isn't truth or reality).

It is a mind numbing app. Addictive. Takes people’s time away from living in reality and into a technological environment. National security risk as well.

I think it should be banned because China has been caught looking at peoples information through the app. But more importantly, I think it should be banned because that stupid app makes people dumber. It lowers your attention span, it slows your brain down because all of the idiotic content on there influencing others to also do stupid things. It starts stupid trends and puts labels on people by what they wear or look like by giving certain slang names for certain characteristics on people. Users of Tiktok will end up spending hours on the app a day. I've seen videos of toddlers that are doing hand motions of swiping up on a phone screen while they are asleep. That is a problem.

According to The Oxford Blue, "nearly 50% of users surveyed by TikTok said that videos longer than a minute long were “stressful”. The truth is that our attention spans are shrinking – so much so that the effect of short-form media on our cognitive functions has been given a name: TikTok Brain."

It is pointless it has rotted kids minds and they have grown so attached to it that it leads to bigger problems.

TikTok is a Chinese company. Their version of TikTok for their children is educational and stimulates young minds for the better. The United States version is disrupting the mental health of the youth. It is degrading their critical thinking skills, their attention span, and should not be allowed. We need to be extremely cautious of foreign technologies.

TikTok isn't just for kids to post random stuff, it's an app that is also very informational and helps important things that are happening in our world spread around the world faster.
