A TikTok ban isn’t a data security solution. It will be difficult to enforce – and could end up hurting users

"Montana has made an unprecedented move to become the first US state to ban
TikTok.

However, doubts have been raised over the decision’s legal foundation,
enforcement mechanisms and underlying motives. While the move draws attention
to data security on social media, banning TikTok alone may not provide a
comprehensive solution to this problem.

For one, the move risks alienating the many young people who have come to rely
on the app for meaningful connection, and in some cases their income. It also
does little in the way of ensuring better future data privacy and protection
for users."
