Other Apps the Government Might as Well Ban
Briefly

The article reflects on the possibility of TikTok's ban, signifying the end of a unique cultural era. The author humorously critiques various other apps, suggesting that society might benefit from their removal, especially highlighting the negative impact of apps like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Duolingo. The tongue-in-cheek commentary hints at a longing for genuine human connection and a simpler life free from distractions and pressures of modern technology, suggesting that perhaps, in eliminating these apps, people could reclaim lost aspects of life, such as cooking at home and meaningful conversations.
It's hard to imagine saying goodbye to TikTok, but at least we'll no longer lose three hours a day to studying trad wives.
Duolingo has made more adults cry than bagpipes and 'Marley & Me' combined. We wanted to improve our Spanish, not be bullied.
