By a 3-2 Margin, The Information Readers Support the TikTok Ban

Opinions divide sharply on whether a respondent uses the app.

Most readers of The Information support the U.S.’s pending ban of TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media app, though a significant minority oppose the ban scheduled to take effect early next year, according to our latest reader survey.

Opinions about the ban divided sharply based on whether a respondent said they use the app. The roughly one-third of respondents who said they use TikTok disapproved of the ban by a more than 2-to-1 margin. Nonusers favored the ban by a slightly larger margin.
