Useful reporting on TikTok:

There's disagreement among US officials on whether to force ByteDance to sell TikTok (which courts might overturn) or a negotiated plan B to restrict TikTok.

@Shira Why not present the full facts + evidence and let the people decide,

For public services the state can restrict the use perhaps but let the people decide based on the risks presented.

@Shira

I am not sure, but if the government want to restrict the use of something like Tik Tok, a blanket ban will end up being branded state interferance or a term we use in the UK sometimes is 'nanny state'.

Tik Tok is meant to be used by persons over 13, there are people under 13 using the platform.

I was trying to suggest that as public services, run and funded by the government (Ok via taxes), I can see it being a government decision. However for the general population, I suggested the evidence is presented and people decide.
