TikTok’s opponents often use its dance-centric reputation as ammunition. We wouldn’t lose much, the argument goes, by getting rid of a platform on which teens perform frivolous dance challenges.
Even some of the TikTok creators in Washington distanced themselves from the app’s dance culture, emphasising instead its usefulness as a tool for education and political engagement. “TikTok is not a children’s dancing app,” activist and content creator Aidan Kohn-Murphy told The Wall Street Journal during the trip....
The threat of a TikTok ban looms large for dance creators in the United States, especially those who have built their careers around the app. But a ban probably wouldn’t snuff out TikTok dance; its signature qualities have already seeped into popular culture....
Montana lawmakers on Friday passed a bill to ban popular short-form video app TikTok from operating in the state, the latest threat to the Chinese-owned app's existence in the U.S.
The above is quoted from CNA. The sicko Americans chose to ban TikTok, an app instead of banning guns. To the sickos, children are miss using the app, and a few had used the app in dangerous challenges leading to a few deaths. So TikTok must be dangerous and must be banned.
What about guns? Guns are not dangerous? How many deaths had been been caused by the use of guns by children? How many little children, even pre teens, had used guns to gun down parents, teachers and other children? The data of gun deaths simply drown the few isolated incidents of death caused by pranks and dangerous challenges.
So, why not ban the guns but TikTok? Are the sicko Americans crazy? TikTok is a tool for many useful uses. Just like a car for example. If a car is badly driven and kills someone, should cars be banned? What is happening to the sick American society when adults think like silly kids, reason like silly kids and abused their position of power to do silly things like banning a tool, in this case an app, when the killer is not the app but the person using it. And just because they love guns, a weapon to kill, they choose not to ban the gun, a clearly far more dangerous weapons than the app.
How silly and how sick are the Americans today? And you have elected men and women, to be national leaders, thinking and acting like silly brats, talking rubbish about an app like TikTok, to the extent of using the law to ban it!
American political leaders are being a bunch of silly jokers. And many people's livelihood is going to be adversely affected by the ban. Many people are depending on TikTok app in their businesses and educators are using the app as a teaching tool.
