That's not why it was banned. It was banned because Zuckerberg lobbied to get it banned because he was losing revenue. PLUS the fact that TikTok users where communicating things to each other the powers that be don't like. There was a rise in dissatisfaction with the American system, and fewer people were likely to say this is "the greatest country in the world" and all that utter horseshit. They don't like it because it is pulling the curtain back.

Well, they just can't have that now can they?

TikTok was and will continue to wake people up to just how bad they're getting screwed by the late stage capitalism that is rampant in this country and around the world.
