Banning #TikTok is banning free speech and info access for tens of millions of young Americans. The app must be accountable for the data it collects, but a ban is absurd. Contact your representatives and sign on to #DefendTikTok now: DefendTikTok.com
Tik Tok is notorious for that app's massive data privacy concerns, its relationship with the Chinese government, widespread censorship, and blatant discrimination.
TikTok's problem is a problem that most platforms have. US platforms, especially Facebook, have been directly implicated in historic data abuse incidents like election manipulation. #CambridgeAnalytica
The problem: social media platforms are not regulated or held to any kind of ethical standard, and there is no meaningful protection of user data or privacy. This must change.
Censorship is never the solution. Banning TikTok sets a dangerous precedent and distracts from the core data protection issues shared by all digital platforms. The future deserves more than #censorship.
