There is great content on TikTok. But also, TikTok has done shady things, some at the behest of the Chinese government, targeting users in the US and other countries outside China, using the information in their contact book etc. There is no easy way out here. Banning it would mean losing lots of content, and future content creation and consumption moving to an imperfect alternative (YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels etc). Not banning it is a national security issue. Ideally, given that ByteDance cannot be unlinked from the CCP (because that's just how business is done in China), the only other alternative would be if they could divest of their ownership of TikTok and also agree to specific conditions similar to the Twitter-FTC deal.
