      “You can’t use this at work” and “You can’t use this ever” are very different things.

        That’s correct. Not every country on that list limits the ban to just govt employees.

        How many apps has China flat out banned? Movies? The actual Internet?

            Hardly. Banning one app for security is nowhere near as bad as blocking most of the entire world because you don’t want your citizens to see it.

      This is a bit dishonest. Only Afghanistan and India have banned TikTok from citizens and neither of them are western countires. In every other country you listed it’s just about government devices.

      Most governments even semi big companies don’t allow whatsapp or other meta products on their hardware, is that precedent enough to ban meta too? Very few apps comply with the GDPR requirements needed on company/government hardware.

      Look, I despise Tiktok too, but most arguments on here are just “muh China bad” or “look at these other people doing something”
