It’s already banned in Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Taiwan, Denmark, European Union, France, India, Indonesia, Netherlands, Nepal, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Somalia, and United Kingdom.
Am from the Netherlands. Can confirm TikTok hasn’t been blocked yet. I think the ban only applies to some government officials, and I don’t think it’s enforced well for most of those.
A lot of these are partial bans. Canada for example only bans it for government issued phones which makes sense, there shouldn’t be any apps let alone social media apps on those devices.
Better question: Will the world rejoice in having a social media network without Americans?

That’s very inaccurate information.
It’s basically only the government officials who can’t have the app installed on their phones, for security reasons.
That’s it.

Same for Belgium
Same with Australia. Seems a bit disingenuous to say it’s banned, it’s a government worker policy.
Sure. Exactly the same in France.
And it’s also only banned on work devices. There’s no ban on government employees having TikTok on their personal phones, although I personally don’t.
Yeah same for Australia.
