The President does not have the power to ban an Internet service. He may order executive agencies to investigate the company and take action based on what they find. There is no (non emergency) statute that allows the President to unilaterally shut down the service.
Parents of kids do have the authority to curtail their children’s online presence. This is not limited to TikTok, it is a common theme across all social media properties.
What Egypt does should not affect what technologies are permitted in the US. China bans Google and Facebook. Should we ban it too? This line of reasoning makes no sense.
I appreciated the comment. It exposed me to something I didn't know was going on.
With regards to "who are you to take it away from them..."
I don't think the parent poster has that power.
The president does and he may ban it to protect users privacy.
Some people are parents of kids who use it and they would have the right to limit where and how their children can express themselves.
Countries like Egpyt are putting girls in jail for dancing on tiktok.
This has all of the making of the next footloose.
