One bad ad shouldn't end a creator's career.

Daily Debate #610: "One bad ad shouldn't end a creator's career.". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Oscar Wilde.

I think the tiktok ban was not about "protecing americans from spying and foreign influemce" but had an ulterior motive

You're dodging the actual debate. Even if ulterior motives existed, does that make the security risk disappear? Prove the ban was *purely* political rather than also substantively justified. What's your evidence?

Im not saying it definitely had an ulterior motive, but it seemed to have no real justification, where the ban seemed to be either for political reasons or otherwise

You just admitted you have no evidence, so you're speculating. But here's the real problem: even *if* politics played a role, that doesn't erase TikTok's actual data practices or ByteDance's ties to the CCP. Why should one suspicious motive invalidate every legitimate concern?

Can you be more specific about the "suspicious concern" you are refering to

TikTok collects sensitive data without explicit user knowledge, including keystroke patterns, location data, and clipboard contents. Chinese government can compel data sharing, and leaked reports showed China-based teams accessed U.S. user data covertly. That's not speculation, that's documented. Where's your rebuttal?
