Useful reporting on TikTok:
There's disagreement among US officials on whether to force ByteDance to sell TikTok (which courts might overturn) or a negotiated plan B to restrict TikTok.
@Shira Why not present the full facts + evidence and let the people decide,
For public services the state can restrict the use perhaps but let the people decide based on the risks presented.
@zleap is that the situation we have now?
I am not sure, but if the government want to restrict the use of something like Tik Tok, a blanket ban will end up being branded state interferance or a term we use in the UK sometimes is 'nanny state'.
Tik Tok is meant to be used by persons over 13, there are people under 13 using the platform.
I was trying to suggest that as public services, run and funded by the government (Ok via taxes), I can see it being a government decision. However for the general population, I suggested the evidence is presented and people decide.
