Look, TikTok is trash, but clearly the people championing this ban don't care at all about data privacy or social media manipulation. Ban none, or ban them all.
The one true way to resolve this issue (IMO) is to pass a digital bill of rights, regulating these social media corporations, and forcing them to make their products safe for all ages.
Banning one of many is pissing in the wind, and I don't enjoy urine in my face (no judgement if that's your thing, it's just not mine).
