01 Apr Debate 1: Banning TikTok – FOR or AGAINST?
Make a FINAL POSITION posting (FOR or AGAINST) as to where you stand after reading everyone’s arguments on this topic.
Important! When you make your arguments (For AND Against), you MUST make reference ( using in-text citations) to the Readings (under “Net Neutrality”) and/or the Videos (presented by Tim Wu) to support your positions. Include the Author (or Presenter), Title of the article (video), and year of publication. Feel free to continue researching on the topic for further evidence, if desired. Some things to consider when making your arguments:
· What risks are there in using TikTok?
· What arguments are there taking action against ByteDance, the owner of TikTok?
· Would the sale of the company resolve the issue?
· What drawbacks are there to restricting a social media platform like TikTok?
· Are there positive aspects to TikTok? Benefits to using the platform?
· Are there alternative platforms people could turn to if TikTok was unavailable?
· If you are a TikTok user: what would YOU do if TikTok stopped working on your phone tomorrow?
