Is banning a hyper-popular and addictive social network even feasible? A ban on #Tiktok is akin to a ban on Star Wars for many people of a certain age. And people of this age are also amongst the most tech-savvy! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-65042762
@gpowerf I have seen this happen before in different countries. For example, in Iran social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc. have been blocked for many years. (As far as I know, Instagram is not blocked.) This does not appear to have stopped anyone from using it. Blocking things on the Internet is just not technically feasiable; you can try, but it's like trying to stop a river with your hands. They can perhaps remove TikTok from Google Play.
@ben this is exactly my point. You can make accessing a social network illegal, but that will never stop people from accessing it.
