It's a complicated situation in this case. My comment was more about censoring the internet in general, as that seems to be the more important part, with the individual case being more of an excuse to address this issue yet again.

I mostly think the tiktok ban is justified, for one because china has been playing unfair for ages now and because it is a national security problem when the chinese government could, at any moment, give itself access to this much information that could be used to blackmail large numbers of people.
