The Effects of Public Opinion on the Proposed TikTok Ban in the USA

What is your opinion on a country’s national security and TikTok?

  1. they need to focus on more serious issues than tiktok.
  2. based on what i’ve heard, the chinese government is using tiktok to spy on people. that’s concerning.
  3. if it could harm the country - eliminate the ability of civilians to use it.
  4. yes
  5. when it comes to privacy concerns, i believe tiktok can be as unsafe as any other social media. however, when it comes to spreading misinformation, tiktok can be a very dangerous tool, since its videos are able to reach a huge audience in a very short period of time, and this can definitely pose a threat to a country’s national security.
  6. as mentioned before, it is hard to define what misinformation is and to ban tiktok in the country. since modern society values human rights greatly, people should have the right to choose to use the platform. i do agree that some laws or regulations can be established on the issue in order to prevent privacy violations.
  7. i think the two aren't correlated.
  8. as i have said, people are misinformed about how tiktok works, where it is based, and how their data is managed. tiktok claims that it does not store any facial images from the filters, so they cannot identify who is behind the screen.
  9. maybe tiktok videos can be screened more thoroughly to avoid information being leaked that could affect a country’s security.
  10. if tiktok obtains data that could pose a threat not only to an individual but to a nation, then it must be banned.
  11. i have none.
  12. i do not think the use of tiktok should be totally banned. i think it should be regulated and government workers' devices should be closely monitored. as much of a threat tiktok poses to some countries' national security, it has many other educational benefits and can be used as an asset if used wisely.
  13. i don't know enough to say anything, but i don't think tiktok poses any threat to national security.
  14. that they need to work together to prevent disagreement between people
  15. i think it's very delicate because of misinformation and propaganda. also, some individuals could have access to top secret information and other sensitive information of a country, so it's actually a dicey situation.
  16. i think it is important to avoid misunderstandings, hate, and violence.
