"Ban the app already" And FB, Insta, Google, Youtube, ..? The only difference with TikTok is that it is based in china.

And in terms of jurisdiction - it's a bit like you visiting Ireland on holiday and committing a crime - and then arguing they have no jurisdiction over you as you are only there for 2 weeks.
