        Why is it any worse than any other commercial social media company? Unless you mean they should all be banned.

          I don’t like it. I’m not going for a consistent judgment, but a good one.

            So your reason for banning TikTok is “I don’t like it?”

                Why should you be the arbiter of what gets banned?

                    Yes. If you say things should be banned based on whether or not you like them, you are saying you are the arbiter of what gets banned.
