If you're going to ban TikTok for health reasons, you just need to ban social media.
There's no way to argue that Facebook and Instagram are healthy.
The notion that China is going to run pysops via TikTok also falls flat, Facebook has already been responsible for human right violations in multiple countries. Why don't we fix our own propaganda factories first .
The only thing that I think would be okay would be a warning label on these apps, and this should go for all social media.
"Please be advised the views expressed by users on these apps may not be authentic, and are subject to influence by various parties which may not have your best interest at heart."
But at the end of the day, if you want to read or consume propaganda or misinformation you should have a right to.
Otherwise we're going down a slippery slope, so first it's because TikTok is a Chinese owned company. What's next, are we going to shut down an app because C level employees have close relationships with officials in governments we don't like ?
If you have a Russian uncle you can't be the CTO of Facebook?
