Or have you ever used Tik Tok? Personally, I never have. Now I understand it's being banned because its parent company is Chinese. From the news clip I saw, some people use it to advertise their businesses. What do you think of that? Will you miss using Tik Tok? I can't say that I'll miss it--because again, I never used it.

I have never used TikTok, but if I had to choose whether it would mostly be a good thing or bad thing to be banned, I’d say odds are it would more likely be good it was banned.

I have never used it either. We can not miss something that we have never used.

Tik tok was banned in my country long ago. I was not too fond of the site, so I did not miss it.

Really? What was the reason they banned it in your country?

@xstitcher This happened after Covid when a lot of Chinese apps were banned here.

No, I've never felt the need to use it. The only reason I signed up with facebook was to keep in touch with family. Unfortunately, I've fallen prey to watching all the cat videos...

I used it nominally. I did post videos and watched videos. But it was never a major part of my life. As for the ban, I think the national security concerns are overblown and do feel that the ban MAY be against freedom of speech. But we will have to wait and see what happens next. Donald Trump has expressed wanting to find a solution to remove the ban and restore it.
