For folks who have never been to China, it's often necessary to use VPNs to access many popular American sites and apps that may be "corrupting the youth" or whatever excuse they have. They also block some popular news sites from Taiwan, India, Hong Kong, and other places they don't like.

Young Americans will probably find a workaround for their personal phones if they want it badly enough. It's good to keep Tik Tok off government phones.
