The proposed ban on TikTok, a platform that supports approximately 5 million American jobs and significantly contributes to the economy, raises serious concerns. This action seems inconsistent when considering other platforms like Facebook and Google, which also engage in data sharing practices, yet face no similar threat. The ban could inadvertently suppress free speech and limit the ability of citizens to connect and collaborate. It's crucial to ensure that any actions taken do not disproportionately impact small businesses or infringe upon the rights of individuals. Therefore, it is requested to reconsider this ban and instead, focus on comprehensive data protection measures that apply to all platforms equally. This approach would better represent the interests of all citizens and uphold the principles of fairness and freedom of speech.
