RE: Trump considering TikTok mobile app ban in the US

great firewall of China America.

While I don't use or watch Tiktok, I believe in freedom of choice, and a "ban" will only make Tiktok more popular in America, like anything government tries to prohibit.

I don't think it'll work that way, I mean you don't see millions of Huawei devices being smuggled into the US. It's not like alcohol or narcotics. I don't believe people will go out of their way to be on TikTok

It's actually more like alcohol or narcotics than a piece of hardware. Social media apps are designed to be addictive and habit forming. It's also important to factor in the reason for the ban, and in this case it seems oddly political. If the motivations are partisan, banning Tiktok in the US will pour gas on a fire. Just watch.
