Should TikTok be Banned?

This Sunday 19/1/2025, the US Supreme Court will announce their ruling on whether the Chinese social media platform TikTok should be banned.
This is due to security concerns linked with China (spying and political manipulation).

The legislation does not forbid use of the app, but would require tech giants such as Apple and Google to stop offering it and inhibit updates, which analysts suggest would kill it over time.

What do people think? Do you think it is of security concern and will you be deleting the app if it no longer updates?

I already used both version, the internacional one and the Chinese one, its almost the same, changes the language and the content creators, but who defines what you see in the app is you.

In the international version the only thing that appeared to me as a recommendation was just profiles that makes political discussion and analysis. While in the Chinese one there was a mix of things, there a lot of videos of work safety but a lot of people doing food, traditional and uncommon ones, and some times videos that, as you say, is "just bad".

The US Supreme Court is delusional. This discussion doesn't even make sense. And for the people that uses Android in the US that will have problem if it gets banned you can download the APK on the browser or download a custom store to keep it updated, it is that simple.
