TikTok users. Tens of millions of them. Notice that TikTok is a social media app which created a numerous new art and social movements. That's why TikTok videos are actually dominating Instagram too. There are many people who got famous on TikTok.

Techies often forget that the numbers in the analytics screen means human beings. "The tech" is deeply psychopathic industry unfortunately, they can't grasp the pain their actions can cause on people.

> Whose speech would be limited if the US banned TikTok?

Yours. TikTok will be just the beginning.

You will have the right to speak. But not using "those apps" and not using "those words".

But, who am i preaching to /s

All the American TikTok users' speech.

The government doesn't get to ban speech in the park just because they allow it at the beach.

Users of facebook and whatever other US-government sanctioned communications platforms continued to be available.

What if I, an American citizen, choose to publish an application that happens to have the same source code as TikTok. Is this not my speech?

I mean, China can find one citizen willing to publish their app for them. If a citizen chooses to publish an app they believe in, is this not speech?

mine.
