Banning an application is not a solution

We are living in a digital world, and the communication system has become better with time. We have advanced technologies, and they have made the communication system easier for us. There are many social media applications at the present time, like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter (currently X), and TikTok. At the present time, there are many dating applications also. There are tons of applications, and among those, many are trying to get popular through negative publicity. In a word, for publicity, those applications allow users to share anything, even nudity. Those applications are spreading negativity, and it's not good. In such a case, what application will I choose to ban permanently if I have the chance?

I have read many articles about this topic, and most of the users complained about TikTok. I never installed TikTok on my smartphone, and I don't have any plans to install it anytime. Most of the TikTokers I found around me were one kind of psycho. I felt like they have mental issues, and their actions are also annoying. I am not the one who is thinking that way. The majority of people in my country who don't use TikTok have a similar mindset. There are many other applications also, but nobody criticizes other applications like they do for TikTok. Most people think that a person does not belong to the ideal person who is a TikToker. What is actually the reason behind it? Was it the popularity? I don't think so.

Let's talk about dating applications. In my country, it is not so popular, but as far as I know, it's very popular in other countries. In my country, those people who create accounts on those dating applications do it just for fun, and in rare cases, they provide real information. It has also been seen that those dating applications are somehow promoting bold content. Users are using the platform with malicious intentions.

I just shared two applications that are being used negatively. What kind of steps should be taken against those applications? The first thought about this application is a permanent ban. Also agree that you can be a temporary solution, but in the long term, it's not an effective solution. It's because it's just a matter of time before there will be another application that will take the place of those applications that have been banned. And it doesn't matter how many times those applications are banned; there will always be ways to access or replace those. I am just going to share my thoughts on the TikTok application.

I know the TikTok application is very popular. People can share nudity or seductive content because the TikTok application has fewer restrictions; otherwise, it would not be possible for them to share that kind of content. If TikTok has input restrictions, its popularity may decrease. But the main question is what made TikTok come to this level. It's a means for humans who use it and deliver such kinds of content. We are also to blame who view those contents or consume those contents. If we change our mindset and stop consuming this content, those TikTokers will eventually be left with this if their content doesn't get the hype. But the fact is, we all have a dark side, and we also want to see such a thing, and so we are the actual reason for it. Nothing will change if an application is banned unless we change our thoughts. So naturally, I have no desire to ban an application because it's a totally useless strategy in my opinion.
