“I don't really use Tik Tok, so I don’t have a strong feeling about it. I think it's funny because they say they're banning it because it's surveillance, data collection or whatever. I think there's way more to it than people think, but I don't think it should be banned honestly. I know a lot of people make money off of it and use it to promote their businesses. We have never seen an app before where we can reach millions of people this easy. I mean someone can post a TikTok and get 800k views. Try doing that on YouTube or Instagram, it would be harder.” - Corey Carstens/Mechanical Engineering
