I don’t even know what “reels” is. TikTok clone?
And, yeah, I can see the apprehension regarding the new account.
It's it's the meta/instagram tiktok clone.
It's a clone, but you can't directly compare one social network to another like that. There are differences in the culture and community that won't necessarily survive being transplanted.
I don’t claim there is nothing lost, only that the cost is worth it on net.
An even simpler threshold is that banning it is a reasonable position to hold given the issue even if one may disagree.
It shouldn’t have gotten to this level, but it’s where we are. Users will move to reels or something else that takes its place without the national security risk.
