The TikTok Ban Debate: Risks, Enforcement, and Split Opinions.

Enforcing a TikTok ban in the US would be an "enforcement nightmare" due to the decentralized nature of the internet, according to communications professor Aram Sinnreich. The US could require internet service providers to block American IP addresses associated with TikTok or push app stores to block downloading TikTok, but users could still find workarounds to access the app. Free speech groups have warned against a ban, while critics argue that TikTok poses national security threats due to its Chinese-based parent company owner.
