"It's like playing a dangerous game of whack-a-mole that ends up putting users at even greater risk online," said Natalie Campbell, senior director for North American government and regulatory affairs at the nonprofit Internet Society. She warned that an outright ban could force users towards unsafe alternatives, increasing their vulnerability. Campbell emphasized that those who rely on TikTok for income will be especially motivated to find workarounds, which could lead to more risks in the digital landscape.
Concerns about TikTok's security and privacy are legitimate, but an outright ban would likely backfire, according to experts. Users, particularly those dependent on the platform, may resort to unsafe methods to maintain access. Campbell highlighted the irony in trying to protect users from a platform by potentially pushing them into riskier situations online.
