Americans overwhelmingly support a U.S. ban on TikTok, including -- surprisingly -- more than half of frequent TikTok users, according to a consumer tracking study released this morning by Horizon Media.
The poll of 900 Americans found that 76% support a TikTok ban. Interestingly, 23% said they support the ban …
These data is highly suspect. When was the last tiem 76% of Americans agreed about anything? How old are these 900 people? What gender are they? Where do they live?
Another thing I would ask is how were the questions posed? It would be easy to get a lot of people---many of whom know little or nothing about TikTok--- to agree that it should be banned if the question points out it's a Chinese operation---especially in this pandemic year when China has made lots of enemies thanks to the way it handled the crisis.
