Most of those bans are organizations saying that employees can't install TikTok on organization issued phones and computers, which is not at all comparable to an overall ban? My work doesn't allow me to play video games on work computers or drink on work property, but that's not at all the same as a law banning all video games and alcohol.

Look at the Russian propaganda war in e.g. Germany, that shit can have a negative effect on the defensive abilities of a nation.

Yeah one problem with human and civil rights is that they tend to have negative effects on the defensive abilities of a nation. War would be so much easier if you could just arrest all the peace protestors, or hold suspected enemy agents without trial, or force people to work without pay in defence industries, or force women to give birth to more people so you can conscript more soldiers.

So let's just do away with free speech and habeus corpus, reinstitute slave labor and force women to pop out lots of kids. Then Germany can defend itself again, just like the last two times.
