I really wonder how these members of Congress propose to "ban" TikTok.

Remove it from the app stores? Great. No more security fixes for users.

Build a great Firewall of the US? Pretty unseemly for a "democratic" nation.

Make it illegal to have TikTok on your phone? Pardon me, citizen. I need to examine your device.

Failing a workable way to ban an app I'm afraid this is all just performative sabre rattling.

@leo They've been talking about a great firewall of the US off and on for the last fifteen-some years back home. So far they haven't actually tried to get it done because nobody wants to be the first to take the political hit in case it fucks up.
