On the TikTok ban idea.
The thing is that those that want to ban TikTok and those that don't are wrong and for the wrong reasons.
The fundamental issue that must be addressed and banned is the unwarranted and unnecessary gathering and commoditization of user data.
The corollary issue that must be addressed and banned is the "advertisement as a business model" in the use of products and services, not only in Apps but in other products.
That China may or may not gather and use customer data is an issue but it only illustrates the larger and more dangerous issue of user and consumer privacy.
