Over the past few years, the United States government has been attempting to ban the commonly used app, Tiktok. Tiktok is an app that people can post and watch videos, and interact with these videos. The people that use this app are mostly the younger generation, students.
Some students either stayed on Tiktok, or switched to Instagram, which is another app that has the same concept and uses as Tiktok. Now that TikTok is back up for many students’ pleasure, will they stay on TikTok, or switch to Instagram?
“When the app got banned, I deleted it, so I can’t get the app back. I switched to Instagram reels after that.” -Bella Ostendorf, Senior
“I was kind of glad about the ban, due to the fact that I am kind of addicted to Tiktok. Yet, I use it on the daily to help me with hairstyles for my soccer games, so I went back to it.” -Chloe Schuh, Sophomore
“I think the fact that the ban lasted only about six hours was a little ridiculous. Yet, I am happy that it is back so I am staying on Tiktok.” -Karina Garcia, Senior
“I was devastated by it, tiktok is my favorite source of news and information. I am usually on it 14 hours a day, so at least I have less screen time now. But I am still staying with it” -Enzo Rabinez, Junior
“The ban was pointless and did not really work, but I deleted the app so now I can not get it back. So I went to Instagram Reels.” -Christian Pino, Sophomore
“I was kind of happy about the ban, since I am addicted to TikTok. I usually spend more time on the app than studying. Yet, I would rather stay on Tiktok than Instagram Reels.” -Grace Ahern, Sophomore
“I was mad about it the day it got banned, but then I realized it came back the next day. I did not care that much about it, so I just stayed with Iiktok. ” -Alex Waddraji, Sophomore
