There is a move for the US, and, now, US governnents to ban TikTok.
The claim is based on Sinophobia - claiming that it presents some sort of danger that Facebook, X(twitter), Instagram, and other platforms do not have.
This is bogus. All social media platforms 'spy' on users. If that is an issue, the argement could only be to ban all social media.
The actual reason, as is pretty well known, is that TikTok supports free speech. This access to free speech has led to lots of users, quite properly, discussing their horror at the genocide against Palestineans, being carried out by the Apartheid State of Isreal. They hope to suppress this discussion in order to continue their complicty with the war crime of collective punishment, by supplying arms and money to Isreal.
There is a solution, if this ban comes about.
Users of TikTok need to download the Tor browser:
https://www.torproject.org/download/
Then use this browser to create, and use, accounts on TikTok.
This will circumvent the ban, and allow free speech to continue - aiding the humanitarian effort to stop the genocide in Gaza.
