US TikTok Ban: Ineffective and Potentially Harmful

The US House of Representatives recently passed a bill that could lead to a ban on TikTok, but experts argue that this move may not make social media safer. The bill, which still needs Senate and Presidential approval, is based on concerns about data privacy and the potential for misinformation. However, critics argue that banning TikTok won’t necessarily protect user data across social media platforms or prevent the spread of misinformation. They also highlight that the ban could negatively impact those who rely on the platform for income. The threat of a ban has prompted TikTok to urge its users to protest against the legislation.
