TikTok does not present a security concern. It presents an American greed barrier as American government doesn't get revenue from them and they want a piece of the pie. TikTok has introduced me to so much knowledge on medical matters, health matters, helped me find people I relate to, rediscovered memories, nostalgia, entertainment and fascinating people across the globe.  It's also allowed me to connect with people as well, unlike any other social media platform out there. This ban is an outrage and I sincerely hope it never happens.
