I was considering using TikTok as an example of an upcoming app that contains some causes for concern in terms of whether or not the videos are appropriate. It has recently come to my attention that TikTok is being banned in the US, which is something that I may choose to touch on- I could use it as an example of an app that as a result of ‘security concerns’ (as said by Mike Pompeo). I think i interesting that an app has sparked so many concerns that the US president (who is known for some extreme right wing activity) has taken such extreme action to ban it. One of the reasons why this is interesting is bevause the vast and growing popularity concerned with the app. The removal of this app, in my eyes, is a fantastic event as the harmful content that can be easily viewed on the app does not match the type of content that a demographic of young children would typically watch. I think the younger generation needs to be protected from harm.
