Is the TikTok closure case a harbinger of disaster?

The decision to shut down the TikTok platform has gone all the way to the American Senate. If the Senate approves it, the platform will have to end its activities in the country unless it is sold to another company. However, there are also those who criticize this situation in terms of freedom of thought.

Commenting on the subject, internet expert Eric Goldman said that TikTok is a very easy target due to its connection with China, but if the decision to close it becomes official, it will put other social media companies under great pressure. Here are all the details…

Platforms like TikTok are at risk of being shut down!

According to Goldman, this situation will create a dangerous legal precedent and will greatly harm freedom of thought in social media channels. Companies that will have to monitor their users more due to the pressure of the state may have difficulty in providing the free internet environment desired by many people. Goldman claims that Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, may also face serious charges soon.

Are social media sites in danger?

Stating that the case for shutting down TikTok was based on very vague judgments, Goldman suggested that the upcoming general elections were also used as a fear factor here. In addition, even if TikTok is purchased by another company as the American administration wants, it can still be coordinated by the Chinese government behind closed doors.

Some people think that it would be extremely anti-democratic for American President Biden to shut down an application used by millions of citizens in such a short time. At the end of the day, we hope that all developments will benefit users.
