Disclaimer: I’m old and have never used TicTok. As I understand it most social media apps track everything about the users. I’m assuming the backlash on this one app is the data is in the hands of the Chinese.
But – again I’m old – if millions have it on their phone already, they can’t stop them from using it. Is that accurate? If so, when kids hear it will be banned, doesn’t it simply create a rush to download it and accomplish the opposite of what the lawmakers want?

I don’t know what law, if any, will actually be passed, but banning doesn’t necessarily mean you cannot access it. A ban on TikTok in the US could mean they can not do business, sell ads, maintain servers or collect data but you are still free to access the site. However, TikTok would have no reason to host videos or accounts from the US, which would essentially kill the app in the US.
