In April, President Joe Biden signed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act into law, which is an effective ban or forced sale of the popular social media app TikTok. The app’s parent company, ByteDance, has vowed to fight the imminent ban. What are your thoughts?

They need to focus on gun violence in America!

Good. It wasn’t good for kids at all. I know that what’s on there is everywhere, but one less problem is a blessing.

Blaise Shareef, Newark, N.J.

I’m fine with it. Folk are so evil, and many disturbing things are on there. Social media as a whole. I miss 1995.

I’ll miss it. I learned so much from TikTok, from recipes to historical facts. A lot of truth was found on the app.

Tiffany Dent, Greenville, N.C.

It’s better than Google to me. I’ve been able to learn so much for my business and ideas for birthday parties. I have also seen so many of my friends make a living off their content, so I hope someone will create an American-based version of it.
