When a nation "bans #TikTok", it is not really banning TikTok. It is banning its *citizens* from TikTok. The "ban TikTok" movement is a pro-#censorship movement.
I'm pro-#FreeSoftware, so I'm now in an awkward position. I have to both condemn and defend TikTok.
Condemn, because it's an awful #proprietary #spyware that has direct connections to an oppressive regime and I think it should not be used by anyone ever.
I also feel obliged to "defend" it in that I hate #Internet censorship.
