I’m for the ban. It is too much info on Americans with a possibly hostel country to the U.S. There are other countries that have too.
I know a lot of people love their TikTok. Me personally, I am all for the ban. I think it is a danger to U.S. citizens and government.
But, we are not the only ones who feel this way.
