Tiktok has been thought to be a national security concern because it is owned by a chinese company. The main reason for this ban is the ties that tiktok has to china. Many are concerned that the Chinese are spying on the United States through tiktok. Many states have tried and succeeded at banning tik tok, around 30 states have successfully banned the app. Montana was the first state to ban the app.
This ban has gone far enough that the Biden administration began to make threats. The Biden administration’s threats consisted of a national ban unless the parent company of tiktok agrees to sell their shares. In the past, when the speculations were made, tiktok has made comments about how they have never shared any information with the Chinese government. Which clearly was not enough for many people.
The people from tik tok also think this ban is against the first amendment right granted to the people. They have also made comments about how they will defend the users inside and out of montana with the use of this amendment. When the ban was put into place, it prohibits any downloads of Tiktok in the state, and any app store who still offers it will get fined $10,000 a day that people still have the ability to download the app. Although these penalties will not be applied to users, the app will be taken off the phones of montana residents.

Your topic and summary are good. 30 states haven't outright banned thapp. They have banned government devices from having the app. Only Montana is doing a complete ban so far. Be sure to keep commenting and proofread to elimiate cap issues.
Of course I see the concern of the app Tiktok, although, I don't think it should be banned. Tiktok is an app owned by China, and the U.S. is worried about China being the one to own Tiktok. I don't think this app should be banned because most people just use it for fun and something to watch when they are bored.
I do not think tik tok should be banned because it is an entertainment for people and influences younger kids. I use tik tok everyday and it can be helpful for real life things at some moments.
I don't think it should be banned, I feel like that it is a little over the top. I know that lots of people use it to spread information whether true or not. I personally do not use the app that often even though I have it on my phone.
I don't think TikTok should be banned. It is a very useful app and you can find almost anything on it. You can find tutorials, different food recipes, and many helpful tips. I use TikTok probably more then I should but I think it is a good app.
I could see why people wouldn't want TIkTok to be banned, however, I do not think it should be allowed in America simply because our information is being harvested by the Chinese government. If you wanted to see how TikTok is taking information, you should read their terms of service in the privacy section that you agreed to when you installed the app.
I personally do not believe that Tik Tok should be banned. I know I personally use the app on a daily basis and many other people use it daily as well. I feel like if you are personally are scared of the Chinese government, then you can have the choice to not use tik tok.
I do not belive that it should be banned, but i don't have it so i don't really care.
I don't think TikTok should be banned because a lot of people use TikTok for social reasons or just to waste time. I use TikTok everyday when I am bored or want to pass time. I think if something big were to happen to TikTok because of China then I would stop using it.
I don't think that it should be banned. If the Chinese government is getting people's information, then it's up to the user on whether or not they have the app. I don't think that any apps should be completely banned, but I do think that there should be precautions taken when downloading a new app.
