No American will be censored if TikTok is banned. They will simply use (or go back to using) one of the many other non-TikTok alternatives to talk about the same things.

If TikTok were the only game in town, sure, banning it would be censorship. But that's not the case, by a long shot.

This is clearly about censorship, as anyone living outside of the United States can see. It's actually pretty obvious that they're banning the one platform where US oligarchs have no say over what goes viral and what doesn't.

And instead you can get all the spoonfed Chinese propaganda, like all the pro-Hamas content...
