  Seems like part of what happened with TikTok is it was engineered (by China I guess) to remind people of other social apps that took off and greatly rewarded early adopters. The Times didn't want to miss out again.

  TikTok is a beloved app - that was the point of the article. There only real issue with the article is not noticing that people like the app - that’s not in dispute. The issue is that the author somehow failed to point out the reason there’s a ban under consideration.

  If you're super bummed about @tiktok_us being shut down for being a spying tool for communists, I encourage you to think about #HongKong citizens being tortured for selling books, children being re-educated in concentration camps & your parents being run over by tanks #BanTikTok pic.twitter.com/o6gAScYHlj
