One interesting aspect of this case is that, should Apple and Google follow through and force TikTok off their App Stores - many people will feel quite "disenfranchised" due to the popularity of the App.

This would force many who would otherwise never think about the consequences of these walled garden ecosystems and their lack of control, to suddenly have to do so.

As stupid as the idea is I'm hoping it happens for this reason. Maybe people will realize the importance of truly owning their devices. It would be pretty ironic if that were to happen over TikTok, though.
