Americans voluntarily install and consume TikTok content. The government can prohibit this software from government-owned devices, just like any employer could, but to disallow it from the public is bonkers. If the app gets removed from app stores, what will prevent people from side-loading it to circumvent the ban? What happens to me personally if I set up a proxy so you can send and receive info from TikTok through my servers for some small monthly price? I can even publish an app.
