The precautions necessary to allow researchers on a college campus to access tiktok should be taken even if tiktok is banned, it’s basic cyber security.

I am not sure how to interpret this sentence. How is allowing access to something that is banned cyber security?

My point is that there is no increase in cyber security on a college campus by blocking tiktok, the difference security wise between blocking and allowing it is negligible.

The ban is security theater.
