Half of Americans support a US government ban on TikTok, while 22% oppose the idea and more than a quarter are unsure, according to a Pew Research Center survey

The survey results — collected in the days before and after TikTok CEO Shou Chew testified before Congress on March 23 — highlight the company’s challenges in persuading the public TikTok does not pose a national security risk. But it also underscores that significant portions of the country, 28% of Americans, remain uncertain about a ban on TikTok, suggesting they do not have firm views on the matter.

Some 19% of TikTok users did express support for a US government ban, however. Those who know of TikTok’s connections to China are more than twice as likely to support a US government ban than those who are not aware of the link , according to the survey. The survey found, however, that most Americans — nearly two-thirds — are aware of TikTok’s China connection.

US has been spying on everyone and the top spy but accused TikTok of doing the same for China without any evidence and TikTok denial. Why US can spy but other countries cannot?

Does the half that support the ban uses TikTok and know what it is? It is easy just to ban something that you know nothing about or have nothing to do with it.

Where is Hunter?

Bogus poll

Who will believe this kind of survey? All these are part of the continuous propaganda campaign for the politicians

CNN is not a news network. There is a pantomime act

Why would Americans want a ban ? That’s BS. This is political Not civilian Interest and to be precise it’s a called Jewish ban because Jews can’t control this outlet . You burin in the fires of hell . Evil bunch of Satan

TikTokSupport TikTokLatAM tiktok_us tiktok_uk TIKTOK IS A PEST and its goal is to poison west! MUST be BANNED in all means!

I bet it would shock most Americans that TikTok is more secure than American Social Media. This is all about US government access to data.

We all saw with our own eyes - they're 100% unsure. Unsure of how technology, at any level, words. Unsure of what, or who, a 'TikTok' is.

TruettGlen This bill cannot go through. Absolutely sinister

22% oppose? やっぱ嫌われてんな中国

RIP tiktok

And there are those of us that just want it effin regulated so our data doesn’t become fodder for foreign agents Cancelling it will just give the right precedent to cancel other social platforms. Let’s not be so damn fundamental in our thinking

All socia media should be banned to be honest.

So what about the last 28%?
