G1: Ban Tiktok
| About 170 million Americans use the TikTok app but Congress passed a law requiring it to be sold or banned because it is owned by a Chinese company that could potentially provide the Chinese government with sensitive information about Americans. Do you think these national security concerns are important enough to require the sale or banning of TikTok or do you think Americans should continue to be able to use the app? |
