They're not banning their students from using tiktok, they're blocking access to a website on their own networks. That is how network security works. I have many IP addresses block for many customers because some website shouldn't be accessed on networks with PII. It's really not that complicated.
This is why I can't wrap my head around any of the tiktok hate. I don't trust tiktok with my data so guess what? I don't use it. I don't see how my coworker using it is going to be the downfall of America. We've already banned it from government networks, that's plenty.
That sounds normal when flipped to me. Swapping Rick and Morty for Morty and Rick sounds wrong but Mindy and Mork still has that right to it. I think they did it on purpose.
No one is talking about culture but you.
