Conservative Defense of TikTok

Conservative Defense of TikTok against the proposed ban or forced sale of TikTok by President Biden, a candidate for the president in 2024, include the following:

1. TikTok is free of the liberal censorship imposed by Facebook, Google, and other Silicon Valley Big Tech to tilt elections to Dems.
2. TikTok is freedom of speech, which Joe Biden as a candidate for president should not be allowed to use governmental power to ban.
3. TikTok could expose the election fraud perpetrated by Dropbox Dems in swing states, as homemade videos can be posted in TikTok unlike liberal-controlled social media.
4. TikTok is pro-motherhood in many of its popular videos, unlike Twitter and Google.
5. TikTok is pro-life by featuring cute infant videos, and containing nothing popular that is pro-abortion.
6. TikTok is anti-Establishment and anti-authority, and thereby anti-liberal agenda that is force-fed to kids in school.
7. Tiktok is pro-parent, and not pro-drugs or pro-video games.
8. Tiktok welcomes chivalry, and Will Smith is a leading star there after being subjected to liberal censorship by Hollywood.
9. Tiktok pulls customers away from the Leftist-controlled Facebook and Google.
10. Tiktok software facilitates fair debate better than social media platforms, by allowing users to snip others' videos and responding.

Counterarguments

Here are some counterarguments against TikTok, and responses:

1. But what about all the objectionable content on TikTok?

Response: this is a valid concern, as TikTok tries to interest adults and while attracting a large young audience. But the internet itself is not any different, or any better than TikTok. Neither are public school libraries, about which there has been outrage. Transferring ownership of TikTok to a Biden supporter is not going to make it better.

2. But what about the immense amount of time wasted by students on TikTok?

Response: this too is a valid concern, but those hours (at least for boys) would otherwise be spent playing violent video games. So far no heinous crimes have been traced to TikTok addiction, while many such crimes have been traced to video game addiction.

3. But what about the ownership of TikTok by communist China?

Response: not desirable, but communist China essentially owns and controls Apple and where is the outcry over that? Apple gathers far more personal information about Americans than TikTok does. TikTok requests consent first before linking to information on one's phone, and it is difficult to see what China could ever do with some phone numbers and TikTok accounts of random Americans. The biggest objector to TikTok is its liberal competitor Facebook, which censored Trump.
