How Would US Ban TikTok, Practically?

1.14K viewsOtherTechnology

Title asks it all. “Banning” TikTok – is that at all possible? I understand they can make it hard for folks to get the TikTok app by coercing companies to remove the app from the app stores, but that’s simply a minor inconvenience I would think – I can’t imagine anything can be removed from the internet, access prohibited, etc. What am I missing here?

One thing that everyone seems to have forgotten is that when you use a VPN, the content on your feed is located on the VPN server. By banning TikTok servers in the US, it practically means that there will be no feed tailored to the US landscape anymore. For example, if you use TikTok from the US and then travel to Japan, almost 90% of your feed will consist of content from Japan, which you may not understand. Consequently, you might eventually stop using TikTok because it’s not personalized enough.
